Gobind: It’s time for me to contest

source

JOHOR BARU: DAP national legal bureau secretary Gobind Singh Deo is undecided on whether to contest a state or parliamentary seat in Johor. But the son of DAP chairman Karpal Singh is certain about one thing – that it is time for him to contest on the party’s ticket.
Given a choice, Gobind Singh, 34, said that he preferred to vie for a parliamentary seat. “But if the (DAP) leadership wants me to stand for a state seat, I will,” he said.

He said his interest in contesting was not due to pressure or coaxing from his famous father, adding that it was his own decision.

Looks like this kind of fiasco is fast becoming a monthly affair. Its either temples, bibles, statues, dressing, and so on. Seriously, we should start religion/race sensitizing classes for government staff, school students, NS trainees, politicians, etc. » Read more: Bible Blooper at LCCT
