GEORGE TOWN: Once a DAP life member, Teh Yee Cheu, now 65, left to head Parti Rakyat Malaysia’s (PRM) state chapter a few years ago.
He has now set his sights on winning the Air Putih seat in tomorrow’s state election, pitting himself against three-term assemblyman and former chief minister Lim Guan Eng.
The Air Putih seat holds a sentimental value for Teh, as he lost it narrowly in 2004 to an MCA candidate. He continued serving the constituents there, but in 2008, had to yield to Lim, who had just forayed into Penang politics.
