PENANG: The fight for the Bukit Gelugor parliamentary seat is officially on, now that it is finally confirmed that DAP national chairman Karpal Singh will defend his seat against MCA's Datuk Koay Kar Huah.
There had been speculation in recent weeks that Karpal Singh would move to the Bagan parliamentary constituency to make way for DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
Koay said it made no difference to him which Opposition candidate he faced.
"Whether it is Karpal Singh or Lim Guan Eng, I will still have to face an Opposition national leader. They are 'heavyweights' while I am just a 'lightweight', having served as a state assemblyman in the past.
"But, as a chosen MCA candidate, I am prepared to go all the way and give my best in the fight," said the Seri Delima incumbent.
