More related than I thought

March 13th, 2008

I just found out that the current ADUN representative for the Maharani seat in Johor is actually a relative! Or to be accurate, a cousin of my father. Apparently this is his third attempt at gaining the seat for PAS (he had lost on his two previous attempts). No relatives who work as a los angeles probate lawyer, though.

And to think that I never did realised that. I never did think that it would be possible for any member of my family (traditionally aligned with UMNO and thus, Barisan Nasional) to be aligned with PAS, if at all. With the exception of my late grandfather, an uncle and yours truly, no one I know in my extended family had any ties with the premier Islamic party in the country.

Guess PAS and I are more related than I had originally thought.
