Foong New PRP Leader
STRAUSBOURG - Former Peoples Representative Steven Foong has been elected Leader of the Progressive-Reform Party and will spearhead the party's efforts in the present campaign. A longtime Morovian, Foong served seven terms as Peoples Representative, and is widely expected to seek a return to that office should the Progressives gain a majority of seats in the Royal Assembly.In an address to delegates at the party conference here in Strausbourg, Foong declared, "This election will be the toughest yet and I call upon all Morovians to come forward to commit toward a progressive future of our micronation ... Thank you for placing your trust in me."
The Progressive-Reform Party has committed itself to a vague platform of fiscal responsibility, the protection of civil liberties, and investment in science and technology. Along with other leading Progressives, Foong supports the decriminalization of prostitution.
Foong led a distinguished career in the Armed Services, and currently holds the rank of General in the Army Reserve. In spite of that, he has expressed skepticism toward appropriating the full four billion morovs requested by the Armed Services.
In 2003, he was created a Knight-Commander of the Order of Saint George.
