BAGAN Jermal incumbent Ooi Chuan Aik has been consuming warm water and fresh vegetables to maintain his voice, so he can continue to deliver karaoke numbers to impress voters.
The 45-year-old bachelor, who has a passion for singing, said he watched his diet to be able to deliver speeches as well as hit some of the high notes when he sang songs.
“I will render songs at public events, so long as I still have the voice,” he said after delivering a Mandarin song at the Taman Mawar Rukun Tetangga Chinese New Year dance competition on Tuesday night.
Ooi sang Pa Pin Nian (Peaceful Year) to a crowd of about 1,000 people, who rewarded him with thunderous claps.
Passion for singing: Ooi belting out a number.
Also present were Barisan Nasional’s Bagan parliamentary candidate Song Choy Leng and Sungai Puyu candidate Teh Lay Cheng.
In his speech, Ooi praised the three-month-old Taman Mawar RT for successfully organising its maiden public event.
“I am happy that I could obtain a piece of land for the residents to start an RT here.
“Apart from obtaining two container units for the RT to conduct their meetings, I am in the midst of getting playground equipment to be installed here,” he said.
Ooi said he would also help them obtain two more parcels of land within the area to create mini recreational parks.
Earlier, Ooi visited 43 fishermen from Pantai Bersih at Pangsapuri Pantai Bersih, whose boats and fishing equipment were damaged in a storm last July.
He gave them fishing nets worth RM64,000, noting that the state government had earlier presented 13 of them with new boats and engines worth a total RM100,000.
