By Election in P.115 Batu?

[edited 13:14 / 22102009] YB Chua Tian Chang was found guilty by magistrate court fines RM3,000 and jailed 6 month. The charge was biting a policeman and preventing the discharge of his duties. Any how he said will appeal to higher court. YB Chua is PKR strategic director defeated Lim Sin Pin from Gerakan with majority 9,455 votes in 2008 election. There is three possibilities;

i. YB Chua will appeal; higher court might revoke the magistrate court decision and freed him;

ii. Higher Court might retain the magistrate decision to jail him but reduce the fined less than RM2000 to avoid another by-election;

iii. For strategic matter, YB Chua might not appeal instead decided to go to jail to show to the world the injustice to opposition members.

If possibility no iii comes true then P.115 Batu will have the by-election and for sure PKR will retain the seat with bigger majority.
