Dear Friends,
I apologise for taking more than a week before thanking you all for backing me and my party to a historic victory.
I have been busy thanking voters and busy with party matters after polling day, that’s why i did not have time to blog and even check email.
Many voters want to share my joy by inviting me to makan and meet with them. Now I’ll have to work overtime at the gym. LOL
I am humbled by volunteer election workers who responded in droves, for without them life would have been difficult for me and my small team.
I thank those who made financial donations in whatever sums, for without them our presence through banners, posters and leaflets would not have been so visible.
I thank my loyal support team who stood by me 24/7, through good and difficult times.
I thank my family for their encouragement and emotional support.
A huge thank-you to the voters of Seputeh and Kinrara who have so much faith in me and for re-electing me to Seputeh for a third term and to Kinrara for my maiden term.
Finally, I thank my Heveanly Father for his guidance, for the strength He gives me and for the blessings He shall shower on all who have voted for change. May He continue to lead my hand and guide me to serve my constituents to the best of my ability.
Frankly, I am quite surprised by the election results as a whole, I am also quite surprised to learn that I have the highest margin of votes in the country, 36,429 votes. Wow!! I am so honoured and surprised too!! Million thanks to the voters of Seputeh for your kind support and trust in me. I attribute all these to God’s intervention and God’s grace, not only to me, but to the people in general too.
I found it quite amusing that my original intention of contesting a state seat in Selangor state was to help the party to win one more seat and to check the Khir Toyo-led government in the Selangor state assembly. But now the DAP is in the driver’s seat and poor Khir Toyo is now the opposition leader. 🙂
I will be in the Selangor state exco soon. I am not sure about the Deputy Menteri Besar position, as it is only a recommendation from the party central executive committee. I know many women and my voters in Puchong hope I can hold the position. For me, I leave it to the hands of the party and the state government. I never campaigned for it, despite what some bloggers claimed.
1st!! Congrats on the recent victory. If Selangor were to need a Deputy MB, my support will definately go to you.
woaa.. this old man like to congratulate you. I no go to school, my english bloken meh..but sincerely wish you all the best. Now go out and keep them rockin. Foyoo old man talk like that one naah. keep up the good work. This old uncle will always pray for you.
To, YB Teresa Kok,
Food for thought.
1)…Sabah Progressive Party president Datuk Yong Teck Lee said he was puzzled why the NEP was still an issue when it had been replaced by the
..’National Development Policy'(NDP)…
.. TUN DR M launched the “NDP” which year ?
2)…“so called cancellation of the NEP” was completely redundant because it no longer existed and it was equally disappointing that Penang Umno was still harping on a non-existent policy.
3)…no wonder that some politicians both from ruling and opposition have lost focus on which policy to talk about,”
Someone from Sabah talk sense.
Look like Sabahans know what is the ” Truth”.
West Malaysians are still dreaming ?
Sabahans dare to speak out.
Indeed it is by God’s grace He has given you David’s victory against Goliath 🙂
God bless you and heap praises to Him!
Finally… the right people are in the right place at the right time to ensure that our beloved land is rescued from the money-grubbing hands of her buccaneer kidnappers. I’m so happy to be a Selangor resident with you as Deputy Chief Minister!
I hope you will find time occasionally to relax, Teresa 🙂
The blessings of all Creation be upon you and the New Malaysia where we at last can be true friends regardless of ethnicity and belief system.
The right choice for the Deputy chief Minister of Selangor.
I am proud of you. Keep up your good work!
Congratulations Teresa!
Hope you get to be Deputy MB. What a change then!
With best wishes from up north.
Well done! Hope you also get the deputy MB for Selangor as well – show that a female and a minority can also participate in the nation building as long as one is capable and willing. Be the voice representative for all Malaysians and continue to serve the constituency and our country well. 🙂
As the resident of Selangor as well as Kinrara, I am proud of your success and DAP’s success. My family and I will be giving our support for the new Selangor’s state government.
Re Wisdom Above
I don’t see any core difference between NDP and NEP… and so what’s the point of playing words game??? Both of them are UMNO babies that breed only cronyism and nepotism… leaving the rakyat crying…~~
Well done Teresa, well done !!!
Best wishes from hereon till the next GE. Help your people and help Malaysia reach greater heights and through your party and its coalition with PKR and PAS, elevate us in the eyes of the world.
May heavenly angels hover above you and guide you with righteousness in everything you do.
Congratulation Teresa.
You are beautiful ! !
Keep it up.
dear teresa,
first of, congrats! congrats!
anyway, remember those who have land problems in puchong which you blogged about i.e. kampung bersatu i think. don’t forget about the rest suffering from land issues, your service centre flooding problem and such.
i trust with you as the deputy menteri besar, you can ask the state local authorities to sort out the problems quickly…:)
Hi Theresa,
I’m very impressed with your leadership and what an awesome victory for you in the last election. Was also amazed with the comments that you make in the Star paper describing the recent swing of votes as “a miracle and divine intervention” which is absolutely true. Being a Catholic myself, I totally agree as it’s God’s power that causes this miracle to happen as we’ve been also praying to God for this to happen even before election.
Hope that you’ll be continue to be faitful to God in everything that you do and my family prayers are always with you.
My support will also be towards you becoming the next Deputy MB. That will be great news as well!!!
Dear YB Teresa,
Congrats to your recent election victory! (thought there shouldn’t be any doubt) & as for the post of deputy MB, personally I think you are more than qualified for it. The result of poll shows our support for you.
If you ever need backup, just call me.
Best wishes,
Waifun, Ho
Congrats Teresa
Hope to see you as our Exco soon
Woah… 36k ++ majority. As Mr. T would say, “I pity da fool who run against Teresa in Seputeh”. Teresa Kok = Sassy MP, hopefully Sassy Deputy MB, and Destroyer of MCA stooges’ political dreams.
Congrats Teresa…Winning in the election is only the beginning of the storey. Hope u guys continue to work hard and one day, we can really see changes in Malaysia.
Proud to be a Malaysian……
Congrats Teresa. Winning in the election is only the beginning of the race to care & love the people who voted for you and gave you the seat of power. Hope for u continue to work hard and my humble request if you could spare some time for the needs of the poor and down trodden comminity in the Seputeh area. Has tried to request to seek your advice but you are busy with your other commitments in Selangor. Hope you can spare a thought as we are in a dire situation. God Bless
Congrats Teresa. The recent election results marks a new era in Malaysian politics. The BN Government cannot cheat us all the time. We have spoken through the ballot box. Although I am a full time banker, I would like to contribute in whatever way I can for a better living without fear and favour.
Bravo..Teresa…You have done it!!!!
Sree
Teresa,
Fortunately Siva retracted the quit letter. Kindly act positively the non mainstream members. We don’t like bodyguard ( Ka Ting’s word ) of Secretary General happen again in DAP. The supporter of DAP want the leaders listen to the people not listen the bodyguard.
