QING zhi chi ben di ren, the slogan used by Barisan Nasional candidate for the Banting state seat in Selangor, Ng Siok Hwa, meaning "Vote a Local" in Mandarin, seems to have got on the nerve of her DAP opponent Lau Weng San.

“I have lived and taught at a school in Banting for more than two decades. I am married to a local," said the former Chinese school teacher.
