Almost five months after quitting PKR's political bureau and deciding not to contest in the next general election, Selayang MP William Leong now says that he may rethink his stance.

"A lot of NGOs, and people, even from the BN side - I won't say who - have asked me to reconsider.

"They said that we have started this mission, so let us finish it. So yes, I will reconsider in light of the people's request," Leong told Malaysiakini today...
