公正党前峇都区国会议员蔡添强,在不获委派上阵第15届大选后,于面子书上发表诗词,疑似告别政坛。

蔡添强2008年当选峇都区国会议员,并成功在2013年连任,在2018年第14届大选时,遭选委会取消竞选资格。

当年蔡添强转而支持以独立人士身份上阵的峇拉巴卡兰,后者之后成功当选。

在国会解散后,蔡添强曾有意再次上阵峇都国席,然而公正党日前宣布候选人时,属意峇拉巴卡兰守土,蔡添强也没有被安排到其他议席上阵。

蔡添强原文:
[Farewell]

I am banished to
the world of fallen souls
Cheer up, my friends,
It’s all fine,
It’s not a road of no return
If I come back one day,
Let’s celebrate over a round of tea,
or a small backyard barbeque
If you are too afraid to open the door,
when a wandering ghost knocks
Just leave a little glass of water
at the doorstep,
to cure the thirst of a long journey.
O friends,
If I never come home,
Maybe you will find me buried
amongst the woods and rocks
Just put a small red rose
at my grave
to remember the beautiful memories
we once shared.
