Dr Jeyakumar, the PSM's candidate for Sungei Siput (running under Keadilan logo). Update Mar 9: he won!!!
Dr Nasir Hisham (in red t-shirt), another victorious socialist candidate who was elected to the State Legislative Assembly seat for Kota Damansara, Selangor, is president of PSM.
Dr Kumar came second in the last two elections in the seat. But this time he won outright in the first-past-the post contest.
He trashed Samy Velly, the president of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), a part of the ruling Barisan Nasional
As this cartoon shows, one of Samy Vellu's nicknames is "Semi-Value" (he's Minister of Works in a notoriously corrupt government)
Dr Kumar is a leader of the fight against privatisation of the public health system
