Remember Jeff Ooi of Screenshot, once the most well-known blogger in Malaysia? He even had his own column in Malaysiakini.
He was formerly pro-Gerakan (rumoured to be a sort of 'k'ai-chai' to the late Lim Keng Yaik) but it seemed he saw the light, wakakaka, and to my then-delight joined DAP in time for the 2008 GE.
He won in Jelutong to become a MP in the footsteps of the original Tiger of Jelutong.
He served Jelutong for two terms and became famous for two things:
(1) He was in post-2008 GE the administratively-most-qualified Penang DAP person, holding a Masters (MBA???). Though he was a federal MP, he assisted a then governing DAP greenhorn named Lim Guan Eng to govern Penang as the first DAP Chief Minister, and
 |
today, no longer the old humble Guan Eng |
(2) He was in 2013 wakakaka the man who labelled a Penang Municipal Council staff as 'kucing kurap' (People of no significance). The new Tiger of Jelutong was advised by the original Tiger, the late Karpal Singh to apologise, for labelling a state government staff as a kuching kurap, which to his credit he did.
Jeff Ooi has a sharp tongue (and pen) and had during his blogging years gotten himself into trouble with his acerbic wit and remarks, wakakaka.
I wonder whether that ill-advised insult of 'kucing kurap' in 2013 costed him his seat, because YB RSN Rayer (also notorious for his 'celaka' remark against UMNO) replaced him in Jelutong.
 |
actually the word 'celaka' (doggone, damn) was also favoured by the late Karpal Singh |
I wonder WTF Jeff is doing nowadays but do read his facebook comment on the very recent Pakatan loss in Rantau (as follows):
Aftermath of a hat-trick
Why till now aren’t journalists and political scientists able to produce any good analysis on the PH debacle in Rantau... even with PM-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim parking himself there throughout the by-election as if he was the candidate?

Rafizi Ramli |
Do note that Rafizi Ramli emerged in the final 72 hours to fire late salvos, even with PH rehoisting the decade-old RM10m transfer to London, had tanked* the campaign.
And how about the contribution to PH’s total failure by Rafizi’s sidekick, that holier-than-thou beer-hater Aminuddin? How is PH in NS going to carry on?

Amiruddin Harun, MB Negeri Sembilan deemed by Jeff as a holier-than-thou beer-hater wakakaka |
Why did PH have to lose in 13 out of 14 polling stations, which comprised voters of all ethnic groups? That’s very humiliating!
