Kumar and Rani in Penang fresh after their triumph in Sg Siput
While everyone knows Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj as the guy who finally toppled Samy Vellu in his Sg Siput bastion, few are aware that his victory owes a lot to his wife and campaign manager, Rani Rasiah, a PSM central committee member, who played an instrumental role in the campaign. Of course, they couldn’t have done it without the help of a multi-ethnic team of dedicated volunteers from all around the country. A tale of sheer grit and perseverance.
It was an amazing campaign. Rani revealed that none of the volunteers who helped out in their campaign – many of them from grassroots communities – was paid a sen. It was entirely a people’s effort. In fact, their regular ceramah in Sg Siput did not feature any big names. Rather, it was the ordinary people – farmers, urban pioneers, estate workers – who took to the stage to share their experience and urge the crowds to vote for change!
The campaign was also boosted by a strong DAP candidate standing in one of the state seats and by Pas workers who did their bit by putting up posters and flags in kampongs.
Kumar told me he discovered that his new position as MP for Sungai Siput carries with it certain powers and influence over local authorities, which he hopes to use to uplift some of the diverse communities in the area.

bravo to dr.jeyakumar on bashing DSSV u had teach him a grat lesson, may god bless your good deed and keep your great track of record for the next 20 years ahead, BN and MIC had killed the lower income earner especially indian in malaysia,
Dr.jeyakumar for your information i was born in estate in teluk intan district to poor parents, i am lucky that my parent has been strict in giving importancy to the education, today me and my 5 sibling r excelling in our field,although i am a goverment officer but i aware that MIC under the leadership of DSSV never done anything in uplifting the living standard of any indian besides the cronies in MIC, wondering DSSV son velpari chaffeuer driven in S class MERCEDES BENZ around town, what shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YB’DR.JEYAKUMAR PLEASE QUESTION THIS DATO’NADARAJAH ON HOW HE ASSUMED SOMUCH OF WEALTH…!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE EVEN THE TEMPLE CHAIRMAN OF VENKADACHALAPATY TEMPLE IN INDIA NEVER BEING DRIVEN IN ( S) CLASS BENZ WITH A BODYGUARD!!!!!! my fellow indian think and make a move to our MAKKAL SHAKTHI
Well, M. kumar, with good governance, we acheive positive results, its not advisable to look for needle in the haystack, life in a dead carcase or evidance from the ashes of a person. Let us put a stop to that and shut our negative thoughts away of/from, unanswerable questions and build, positive traits of the existing situations. Forget, Dato Nada, he is finished.
Example, lets start and make it a collective effort, by reducing our waste management bill, from RM 70,000.00 per day, down to RM 35,000.00 per day. I assure you the Penang and all Barisan Rakyat(BR) Government, will reduce our assesment charges on houses and to your suprise, there will be more money in our pocket, than Dato Nada.
Its ideas like this, not only for this issue but, let me assure, that all sanitary systems can have its cost reduced.
Once such uncalled for operational costs, on public maitenance, created by the public, is reduced by the public, for the public, it will have its benefits to the public.
“IF” (Golden Word, If my Auntie had been born as a male, I would have called her Uncle, since ahe is a female I call her auntie), so no ‘IF’ change it to ‘We Will’.
Therefore, we as Rakyat, Civil Society, Nations Public and People of This Land, should lend the supoort to Barisan Rakyat’s public agencies. Than the beaurocratic mentalled governmental bodies,(like the Education Office in Penang and NUTP leader of Penang did by saying, to Boycott invitations to/of BR leaders, did not, this morons understand that, they live on public taxes and we, the Public selected the BR Government), will have no excuse, to say that the public, is the cause of the cost operational increament. This government bodies, in their honest truth, have no obligation to public funds but, only to abuse them, as long as their salary check is paid into their ATM bank, to them is ‘who cares’.
So its left to us, who are obliged to notify our elected representatives, of the rot and how we can assist to overcome.
LETS GET POSITIVE IN MIND AND MATTER AND HAVE THE PLEASURE TO RETAIN A BARISAN RAKYAT THAT IS FOR US.
thank god, finally the rakyat & you managed to get rid of the most arrogant person around
I asked around and a kind soul led me on his motorbike to your old office at the corner.Looking at the dipilidated wooden building ,did it dawn on me the depth and significance of your struggle.Anyway, the DAP centre a little down the road was only a little better.
I was there with the intention to offer to start a tapioca planting project to manufacture environmentally friendly biodegradable plastics . The farmers ,in fact anyone, can plant on any available land,even in their backyard,with our new high yield clones and earn monthly good income.
God Bless and Congratulations
You have made the life for people in Sungei Siput, change for good. Dr.Jeya you were to be the model for all people representative, to represent yourself with the people not only when they are in need. Get down to work now you have been given the mandate. Proof to the BN goverment that you can better the life of this poor people. I hope all the BR reprensentative should follow the foostep of this man, be humble, they need you, and trust you for another 5 years.
Gook Luck Mr.Mrs Dr Jeyakumar May God Bless you.
