Last Friday, an unlikely politician from the Opposition party came to the Sunway market to meet the people. He came with his campaigning entourage of 3 people including himself. He is none other than the famous fella who took the video clip of Lingam speaking on the phone. His name is Loh Gwo Burne and people immediately gave him a nickname of 'Loh Kupon' (get coupon). He came with his younger brother who looks more or same like him, wearing a Keadilan flag on his back and another person who acted like a tour guide for him.
He greeted us very humbly, shaking our hands and asking us to support the Opposition party. His brother told us to vote for him, a person that doesn't accept money just to shut his mouth regarding the Lingam's case. A person that is brave enough to voice out injustice in our government. He also handed out a small piece of photostated pamphlet showing him holding a camera and a small blur picture of Lingam speaking on the phone.
After going around the market and coffeeshops for about 15 minutes, he left with a hurry. After he left, some uncles began to talk about him while other aunties seems blur by who just came. I don't know what he can possibly achieve in that 15 minutes of walk-about but I wish him good luck in his effort of trying to win a parliamentary seat against veteran politician Lee Hwa Beng of BN.
