Kit Siang and Guan Eng have been seeking her out; but she's incommunicado, Kit wrote in his blog, which means she has put herself in a situation or state not allowing communication.She may have problem, but she has put her problem beyond the control of self, to allow it to rise above the level of indispensability; it seems she did succeed, to a certain extend.
But she must control herself and not let her personal sentiment and desires reached the state where the public and her supporters began to form obscure hatred and anger for her and the others, for the fact that, these supporters singlehandedly ensured she was voted in to be their representative, their MP, helping her to defeat the great-machine Goliath Ong Ka Chuan, making her from a nobody to become a somebody, a Yang Berhormat, YB Fong. She was then just a novice; Kit Siang and the other party leaders molded and packaged her to become a brand of itself; but alas, for whatever personal reasons, she would sacrifice a nation of people who had high hopes, a new hope, the hope that she and the DAP would secure the power which would put them in a position help to defend the fundamental rights of the citizen which had deteriorated over the years; but she believed her personal problems with the others within her party was behemoth, beyond reparation, beyond the rakyat; for the fact that she does not even accept that she could be part of the wrong itself, but choose to blame every wrong she interprets entirely on others; She has acquired destructive narcissism.
She had failed the people of the nation, in particular, the people of Batu Gajah; she did not remember anymore her pledges to the people during the last 2 election; she had enjoyed 8 good years and now she is entitled to a pension for serving 2-terms as MP. Back then, she promised to the rakyat that she would be their servant, a servant of the people, to serve them, and to fight and defend their rights and freedom as expressed in the constitution. It was never the self then, never the "I", or the "me".
Back then, when she was courting the voters, she asks not so much for happiness as for an opportunity to exercise her capacities; and even if she must pay the penalty of pain for this freedom and this power she will make the forfeit cheerfully; for it was not too great a price that she had to pay. For, Life without tragedy would be unworthy of human.
But now, she is concern about self; about her political power and alienation, and her family. Maybe, she now felt the need of self-importance, and she has come to desire greater respect; but her mind tells her she is not receiving exactly what she had wanted. So, her only alternative is emotionalization and sensationalization; it's time to write her rhetorical epilogue; it's an appropriate time because it's only a few days to election nomination day; and this caused turmoil, create and built dissents and despair; and dent all the possible hopes of DAP, and ultimately dent all the hopes of the many Malaysians, the hope that DAP would win a few more seats in the parliament and state assemblies, so as to provide the necessary check and balance to deny autocratic BN absolute majority and absolute power to act arbitrarily and to act with wide discretionary power by making rules and laws which impinged on the fundamental rights of the citizen.
Perhaps her supercilious disgust with politics is a cover for a secret disgust with herself: she have botched and bungled her life , and she now cast the aspersion and blamed upon the “environment”, or the “world”, and the others, which have no tongues to utter a defense.
Waterloo had, and now Batu Gajah have, helped to develop a pessimism born, of bitter personal battle with the stings and penalties of life.
It seems, everything in a woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one answer: its name is childbearing. Yet the perfect woman is a higher type of humanity than the perfect man, and also something much rarer.
But if her world is "Will", it must be a world of suffering because Will itself indicates want, and its grasp is always greater than its reach.
This is a prayer taught to me by Epictetus, and it is a universal prayer for everyone, including Fong Po Kuan:
Serenity Prayer
“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Quit by all means but she choose to cause maximum damage to DAP. It looks like she is vindictive and hopes to obtain oscar status which she did succeed with all the BN press having a field day.
This is kind of person that demoralise the nation, not worth persuading. Move On!!!
As MP for 2 terms, don't be naive to offer her excuse of whatever pressure she may have been facing. What kind of pressure you cannot handle?
Look at her intention on these 2 counts:-
i) The timing of her announcement.
ii) The open criticism of internal issue of party
If it not a sabotage, what other reason?
Where is her RESPONSIBILITY and INTEGRITY?
Now went hiding and incommunicado! Even idiot like Edison Chen can make upload video in Youtube to "face" the public.
Ini orang memang contoh jelas "cakap tak serupa bikin"!!!
is it that coincidental that she has to leave now when the election is near?
i have respected her guts but now i am questioning her motive.
why now? why not earlier? why not later?
becos of her implied personal problems and the timing of her choosing not to contest she has let the people of BG down - big time.
Ms Fong..
please come back if you are reading this. The infighting is DAP is a minor infraction. The bigger picture is that with your fighting spirit..it can do good for the future of the country and your children. In fifty years time..when your children or grandchildren reads about the history of Malaysia..they can speak of their Mum with pride. Give it a thought. And if you can fight the Sexist MPs and the abuse they hurl at you in Parliament, you can face up to anything. but if you take your stand...I wish you well too.
Her timing may have been awful but I can understand her point of view. She must have been very emotional when deciding this and might have made a hasty and impetuous decision. Whatever happened to her in that party must have hurt her so bad. I wish you well too Ms Fong...
Amen to the prayer.
pretty unpleasant... when one decide to put a toilet bowl in the dining room.
when serving the ppl as a mp is not your cup of tea... pls go and set-up your own legal practice, stay away from politics.

yes i agree with artchan. on hindsight if PK r really having problem with DAP leadership she could've opted to run as independent or quit way before.
this way she can avoid having to let her supporter down and importantly the opposition is maintained.
quiting now only shows her political immaturity in not being able to separate internal politics against her pledge to serve BG.
This is another classical case of so called SELF-SACRIFICE - I gave up my life for DAP. There is no such thing as SELF-SACRIFICE, and there is no such road and do not advocate it to anyone.
Many people (including this MP) make a great show out of helping others, for example encouraging the voters to lean upon them. They might believe this to be a quite holy, virtuous enterprise & part of the election promises. Instead they are keeping other people from recognizing and using their own innate strengths and abilities.
There is no merit in self-sacrifice. For one thing it is impossible. The self grows and develops and cannot be annihilated or sacrificed. You must not expect to be “perfect” – a state of fulfillment beyond which there is no further growth, and no such state exists.
Self-sacrifice usually means throwing the “burden” of yourself upon someone else and making it their responsibility. Even a mother telling her child, “I gave up my life for you” is speaking nonsense. In basic terms such a mother believes, no matter what she says, that she did not have much to give up and the “giving up” gave her a life that she wanted. In her case to be a MP
Similarly a child who says, “I gave up my life for my parents and devoted my life to their care” means “I was afraid to live my own life, and afraid to let them live theirs. And is so ‘giving up’ my life I gain the life I wanted.” Love does not demand sacrifice. You do not help your children by keeping them chain to you, but you do not help your parents either by encouraging their sense of helplessness.

PRESENT POINT POWER
Nobody is indispensable in any organization. Politicians come and go at different times due to various reasons, some in 100 year's time like Semi Value and some leave because he was caught pants down like Chua Soi Lek etc...
But please do leave with a good name & image when you feel it's time for you to leave. Citizens will be the judge for your behaviour & action.
Cakap Mesti Bikin Siap Siap,
Let's give her a chance to explain; if ever she would.
Agnos,
I think her ego had grown too large to contain her humility.
Artchan,
That's a good appeal; but there were more than 280 appeals in her blog; yet she wouldn't respond.
Hopeful,
I think she has put Self above everything else.
Agnos,
I share your opinion.
Multidimid,
I think she doesn't read philosophy.
Yan,
I believed she would be forgotten soon; Batu Gajah would be won by anyone from DAP.
some of you people made it as if DAP is an angelic party and that it is impossible within its walls, there exists devils who does devilish acts.
Give the gal a break. She did her part for the past 2 terms. She just dont believe in the DAP system anymore. It is just as dirty!
Warrior2,
I agree with you. DAP has so much problem internally; so much internal conflict and power-play and if ever they come into power and rule a state, we will be in deeper shit. But, they never will, as they do not have the majority support as yet. At such, most people are only expecting them to provide a barrier to BN against abuses and infringement of the citizens' rights and corruption.

more emotional lor...
the lao-kong going to become 'somebody' and more recognised lor, so she miss some attention lor...
