Some candidates for your thoughts

The interesting characters that I have been acquainted with or at least heard their ceramahs are decribed in the websites below. Have a read.

Of the few candidates whom I have come across as a resident in Petaling Jaya, Edward Lee is the most outstanding. I hope people in Bukit Gasing will vote for him. Lim Thuan Seng is not a bad candidate but with so many issues pending especially with the residents objection on development in Bukit Gasing, his work is pale in comparison with Edward's. Edward himself had been championing the concerns of development in Bukit Gasing for 20 years! So I don't agree with the Sun's article "Bukit Gasing folk spoilt for choice"

From that same article, check out Santiago as well.

I happened to listen to Chew Mei Fun in SS2 this morning, or more like yesterday morning and I must say, she took on hard questions very well. Although the residents were mostly retirees, they were an educated bunch and asked all the right questions and hard questions as well. A hard worker, Mei Fun, will be contesting in PJ Utara, said they have achieved some success in negotiating for things for non-Malays such as in the number of JPA scholarships for non-Malays. Sometimes, these things are difficult for them to announce and it is best that they negotiate quietly and keep a low. I think I do understand to some extent. Racial jealousy or insecurity is so prevalent and irrational in this country. While the non-Malays feel that they have so little, some of the Malays feel that they should have all the pie. With such chauvinism, it's difficult to talk on rational terms, so best discussed in rational terms behind closed doors. Anyway, Mei Fun's opponent, Tony Pua will have an uphill task. He is also an eloquent speaker. An Oxford graduate.

Have a look at human rights Elizabeth Wong, Bukit Lanjan candidate, website:

Think you can easily google Sivarasa as well. He is a human rights lawyer. Vote for him!
