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.
