Will Koh's fellow 'backdoor' senators OPT OUT too?

Koh Tsu Koon today said, 'I have decided not to participate as a candidate in any seat, Parliament or state, in the coming 13th general election.'

I guess Koh made a bold decision, no? ;)

After all, he had gone through much humiliation from being an electoral loser after 18 years as CM of Penang to being an appointed Senator albeit a 'backdoor' one. Read 'LOSERS ARE GAINERS IN NEW CABINET'.

The rest of his fellow thick-skinned Senators, namely Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Awang Adek Hussin and Chew Mei Fun, should also do the honourable thing - humbly bow out before bringing further damage to BN's already corrupted image.

Well, just see how happy the four faces were when they were brought back into the Cabinet via backdoor!
