Blogger and opposition candidate Jeff Ooi did something he never could have done online. He slapped himself on the cheek. Twice.

On the soapbox at a Bukit Bendera ceramah last night, Ooi revealed that he had previously voted for the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.

Stumping for a spirited crowd, the DAP candidate for the Jelutong parliamentary seat in Penang confessed his political transgressions and paid his penance gamely.

“Ten years ago (in 1999), I was so stupid! I voted Barisan Nasional - so stupid!” the blogger-cum-politician exclaimed, smacking himself on the cheek. “Cukup-lah!”

But he said he did not learn the lesson.

“In 2004, we got tired of (ex-premier Dr) Mahathir (Mohamad) and we have new Mr Nice Guy, Mr Clean (Abdullah Ahmad Badawi). I voted for him as well.

And what have I got? I got VK Lingam… Another hit on my face!” Smack!
