Independent Candidate Johan Md Diah Withdraws
HULU SELANGOR, April 19 (Bernama) -- The by-election for the Hulu Selangor Parliamentary constituency on Sunday will now see a straight fight between the Barisan Nasional (BN) and the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) after both Independent candidates withdrew Monday.
In the latest development, Johan Md Diah, 31, signed the form to withdraw his candidacy at the Hulu Selangor District and Land Office in Kuala Kubu Baharu, at about 9.05 Monday night.
However, he declined further comment.
Late Monday afternoon, Johan, who is a member of the Shah Alam Umno Youth committee, held a media conference at the Felda Sungai Tengi, Hulu Bernam, near here to explain his willingness to contest in the by-election.
Earlier, Independent candidate V.S.Chandran had withdrawn as a candidate.
This means that P.Kamalanathan (BN) will face Datuk Zaid Ibrahim (PKR).
The by-election is being held following the death of the incumbent representative from the PKR, Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Ahmad, due to brain cancer on March 25.

Personal attacks 'not cool' as campaign tool - Umno BANKRUPT of ideas
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said if Umno-led Barisan Nasional won the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat based on the campaign strategy to attack Hulu Selangor PKR candidate Zaid Ibrahim over his past drinking habit, it would be a victory “without morals” and urged the people to respect Zaid's admission of his failings.
He also said Zaid was better than those in Umno who had not repented their shortcomings. Quoting from the Bible, Lim said, “Why punish those who have repented, but not those who have not? Those who wish to cast the first stone must make sure they have not sinned.”
Also, why does Umno attack Zaid when it has accepted Chua Soi Lek, the first 'ex-porn star' of BN?! Aiyah, Zaid should have just stayed in Umno. Then, he would have been 'licensed' to drink all he wanted!

Kelantan Umno Will Expose Zaid Ibrahim's True Colours
@ Malaysiakini
Zaid strikes back at BN's character attack
PKR Hulu Selangor Zaid Ibrahim candidate is using the character assassination attempt against him to expose BN'S hypocrisy.
Firstly, I am sure Zaid's 'drinking' problem was not discovered overnight.
Why was there no action taken against Zaid when he was a Umno member if his true colours were already known then? Why did Umno allow an Umno member with 'drinking' problem (whether past or present) to continue to be a MP? If Zaid could continue to be a Umno member despite his 'wayward' behaviour, I am sure that currently, there are Umno MPs who like Zaid, have been 'licensed' by Umno to enjoy the pleasures of life! ;)

Which is worse - an alleged drinker non-Minister or anal-sex Prime Minister
BN's assault, alleging that he is a drinker and a supporter of gambling, has got Pakatan scrambling to control the damage.
Pity those far-flung Felda (read: Malay) settlers who are fed with lies manufactured by Umno-led BN machinery during this campaign period and government-controlled media all these years.
Pity that they do not know that the Umno-appointed PM was alleged to have a sexual relationship with Altantuya, a fact mentioned in PI Bala's first statutory declaration:
Point of Grace - You are Good - When the sun starts to rise and I open my eyes...
When the sun starts to rise and I open my eyes You are good, so good In the heat of the day with each stone that I lay You are good, so good With every breath I take in I'll tell You I'm grateful again When the moon rises high before each kiss goodnight You are good When the road starts to turn around each bend I've learned You are good, so good And when somebody's hand holds me up, helps me stand You are so good With every breath I take in I'll tell You I'm grateful again 'Cause it's more than enough just to know I am loved And you are good So how can I thank You And what can I bring What can a poor man lay at the feet of a king So I'll sing you a love song It's all that I have To tell You I'm grateful For holding my life in Your hands When it's dark and it's cold and I can't feel my soul You are still good When the world has gone gray and the rain's here to stay You are still good With every breath I take in I'll tell you I'm grateful again And the storm may swell even then it is well You are good So how can I thank You And what can I bring What can a poor man lay at the feet of a king So I'll sing you a love song It's all that I have To tell You I'm grateful For holding my life in Your hands
