I would have voted for her – Maimun Yusuf a.k.a Tok Mun. This 89-year old lady raised her own money to fight a cause she believes in. In the picture above, she is seen proudly holding the flag of Terengganu and the only paper qualification she has is a participating certificate of civil society conference by state government long time ago. It means you don’t have to be from the Keneddy family to participate in democracy.
See the way she lives. That is her house up there. Had she become the PM, people like Ibrahim Ali, Tengku Adnan Mansor, Samy Vellu, and myself included would have been a lot slimmer because she goes around on her bicycle only, thus nullifying the Opposition’s (depending which state you live in now) claims that it can bring down toll rates, fuel prices, and better healthcare facilities. With a lifestyle like hers, who needs fuel, toll and medicine? At 89 years of age, she is a living proof.
She goes campaigning herself, there was hardly anyone to help her.
Her election poster:
Sadly, although she managed to garner the support from over 600 voters, she has lost her deposit of RM10K. She spent a further RM4K in making posters, banners and flyers for herself, and for campaigning.
If you think this gutsy old lady deserves your support financially to get her back on her feet, you can visit her website.
Seriously, I admire this old lady for her courage, and her beliefs.
