A little known MCA politician has become an unwitting ‘star’ online after the conclusion of the debate between MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng yesterday.
Jessie Ooi (right), a Selangor MCA activist, has become an internet sensation of sorts because of the manner in which she posed a question to Lim, as well as its content.
“I am ‘half’ a Penangnite. You always talk about lightening the people’s burden. But assessment rates are up. All prices are going up.
“Moreover, at 10.30pm at night, I saw this twice with my own eyes, 10.30pm the roads are devoid of cars, but you still ask enforcement officers to tow cars.
“It concluded with a fight where there were severe injuries. How to do explain this security issue? Is this called lightening the people’s burden?” she said.
Tow truck remark
Chinese Daily Kwang Wah Jit Poh described Ooi as having her face and ears flushed, and her voice breaking as she scowled into the microphone while questioning Lim.
As the debate was televised live, scores of videos clips featuring Ooi’s question have been shared through Facebook and other social media platforms.
Netizens are also pouring scorn over the incredulous and incoherent nature of her tirade.
But more importantly, her critics honed in on her remark about the car-towing incident and have nicknamed her ‘Ms Tow Truck’.
They pointed out flaws in Ooi’s argument such as her assertion that there are no cars after 10.30pm and that there should not be enforcement work late at night.
This had inspired numerous humorous Photoshop images which have gone viral.
According to Kwang Wah, Ooi’s Facebook fanpage was bombarded with more than 5,000 comments as of last night, condemning her over her performance.
Fanpage inaccessible
At the time of writing, the fanpage is inaccessible. Several attempts to contact Ooi for comments have been futile.
Her fanpage describes her as party coordinator for the PKR-held Selayang Parliamentary seat.
Usually, this hints that she is the most likely candidate for the general election.
Ooi’s infamy online starkly mirrors that of Ceylyn Tay (right), whose infamous speech that was hosted on Youtube, propelled her to national prominence among the Chinese speaking crowd.
Tay, from Gerakan, was criticised stating that in Malaysia, the Chinese community cannot expect equal treatment because of their small numbers.
For this, she became known as ‘Ms Equality‘ among netizens. – Mkini

Now we see clearly MCA and UMNO are the same breed: arrogant, hooligan, cunning, etc. She ask irrelevant questions. China Press interviewed Penang people who rebuted her.
Wonder MCA dares to shout at UMNO for asking more funding for Chinese/Tamil schools. They dare not.
