A new hole in the ship

So the news is finally out.

Bahau state assemblyman Mr Lim Fui Min has finally thrown in his towel after more than 18 years of service to the Democratic Action Party.

Was it a surprise? But of course, some people are so good at feigning surprise.

While there's going to be a bit of damage-control PR work to be done by the opposition party, elsewhere someone is putting up a big WELCOME banner to entice the new independent. Talk about rubbing salt on a festering wound.
