Malaysiakini - Tony Pua ousted in Selangor DAP election (extracts):
Damansara MP Tony Pua has been ousted in the Selangor DAP election.

However, he failed to make into the top 15 after today's election.

The state DAP election is a two-tiered process where delegates only vote for the top 15 candidates that they want to see in the leadership.
These candidates then vote among themselves on who will occupy the respective positions, including the chairperson.
According to the election results, Pua came in at 19th place, with 292 votes – tying him with first-term Bandar Utama assemblyperson Jamaliah Jamaluddin.

Meanwhile, the newly-elected top 15 decided to elect Gobind Singh Deo as the new Selangor DAP chief.
Firstly, congratulations to Gobind who will make a far far far superior Selangor DAP Boss.
Secondly, congratulations to old-timer & salt-of-the-earth Ronnie Liu, Hindraf veteran V Ganabatirau (unlike "someone" who ran away to London, wakakaka), Ean Yong Hian Wah (erstwhile boss of the late Teoh Beng Hock), Teng Chang Khim (quiet dignified former Selangor DUN speaker 2008) and my blogging matey Ong Kian Ming.
Congrats also to the others of the top 15 leadership winners of DAP Selangor.
Thirdly, padan muka Mr 'Nobody', wakakaka, to an arrogant, unsuccessful businessman, ungrateful (erstwhile) business-acquaintance to an unfortunate Eric See-To, un-Chinese Tony Pua.
