Tian Chua to file fresh appeal on whether someone fined RM2k can stand for election

PUTRAJAYA: Former Batu MP Tian Chua (pic) will file a fresh case after withdrawing his appeal to reverse the Election Commission's (EC) decision to disqualify him from contesting his former parliamentary seat.

Tian Chua's counsel Datuk Dr Gurdial Singh Nijar said, after the proceedings before the Court of Appeal here, that his client withdrew the appeal after the judges' panel had declined Tian Chua's request to remove the word "GE 14" in a section of his client's claim.
