Will PH be able to charm KKB folks with its beauty with brain ‘secret weapon’, XT?

 

Editor’s note: We shall provide this space to Puchong MP and Wanita DAP deputy chief Yeo Bee Yin to introduce her ‘little sister in arms’ Pang Sock Tao a.k.a. XT as the party’s candidate in the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election.

To re-cap, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) election machinery announced the already ‘no secret” candidacy of the 31-year-old press secretary to Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming late last night (April 24).

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook who unveiled XT as the unity government’s candidate for the by-election slated for May 11 said the decision was arrived at “as part of our effort to highlight young candidates and individuals who are high-calibre and can represent the unity government in looking after the interest of all ethnicities”.

Over to you, Bee Yin.

 

LADIES and gentlemen, may I present you the candidate for KKB, my little sister in politics, Pang Sock Tao (we call her Xiao Tao, XT or 小桃).

It’s beyond my imagination that the seat left by my late big sister in politics, Lee Kee Hiong, is now entrusted to my little sister in politics to defend (XT is chosen by DAP top leaders among many other candidates).

While having differences, both of them share many common traits. They both love the nation and the people as well as being passionate in their pursuit for democracy and social justice.

Both of them are very simple and straightforward people – they mean what they say. They empathise with people – happy when people are happy, sad when people are sad.

They are both very creative – Kee Hiong was creative in developing the ecotourism of KKB and XT was creative in developing Ubah TV in the DAP headquarters and her jobs in MESTECC (the then Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change in which Bee Yin was the minister) and now at the KPKT (Housing and Local Government Ministry).

While they are not perfect and have their own respective weaknesses, one thing I know of them is that they both give their best and work very hard to whatever entrusted to them.

I am very confident that XT will be able to serve KKB well if she’s elected. So, to the voters of KKB, please give a chance to Xiao Tao to serve you, Selangor and Malaysia and be the voice of the people of her generation (she’s a 90s baby!). – Focus Malaysia
