Other than a certain Ahmad who may well cause another 13th May incident (if we are to believe a pendatang’s son from Indonesia), one other news was of interest over the weekend.

Senator Kohilan Pllay became the first non-Chinese to win the Selangor state chairman position. He beat the incumbent Datuk Lum Weng Keong 187-175. I could probably reason that his position as Deputy Minister and Senatorship meant that if he lost, it will be a big blow to Gerakan’s multi-racial aims, but I won’t said it out loud 🙂

Gerakan is trying hard to shed their one-race party.

Kohilan, buoyed by the win, seem to set his sights on higher platform:

Asked if he would contest for the vice-president post, he said he would leave it to the party’s leadership to decide, although he had received support from many members.

All the best to Kohilan.
