HULU SELANGOR: Jessie Ooi, Barisan Nasional’s candidate for the Kuala Kubu Baharu seat, claimed that she was injured after being “pushed about” by DAP’s Lee Kee Hiong during a walkabout at the night market on Monday
Ooi, 34, lodged a police report on Tuesday claiming that her shoulder was bruised in the incident. She sought treatment at the KKB Hospital.

“I offered my hand to Lee and we shook hands and posed for the press photographers.
“But while we were shaking hands, her (Lee’s) left hand kept pushing at my shoulder. During this time, Lee was smiling and challenged me to a debate.
“I told her it was a waste of time and she continued pushing at my shoulder. My mother saw Lee doing this and pulled me away,” Ooi told The Star.
Ooi said since Lee’s supporters were mostly men, she left the place and returned to the MCA office in town.
She said she realised that her shoulder was painful and noticed that it was red.
When contacted, Lee said she had also reported the matter to the police.
Lee said she had only “tapped” Ooi on the shoulder.
Besides the two, Yoong Tham Fook, Pritpal Singh Mender Singh and Nadarajah Subramaniam are contesting as Independents in the state seat.
