Signals from Penang DAP polls


IN politics, one can win big and yet lose at the same time and that was more or less what happened to DAP leader Chow Kon Yeow at the Penang DAP election on Sunday.

DAP’s Mr Nice Guy powered home with an astonishing 654 votes, which meant that 86% of the dele­gates voted for him. The late Karpal Singh’s son Jagdeep Singh Deo came in second but was almost 100 votes behind Chow.
