The firebrand was the small man’s politician but his sacrifices seem to have been gone unreognised. FMTNews HuSepang
SEREMBAN: In politics, names can fade into oblivion quickly. Like Hu Sepang.
He won the Sg Ujong state seat in 1978, Rahang state seat in 1982, and the Mambau state and Rasah parliamentary seats in 1986.He was among the 106 opposition politicians and government dissenters who were detained under the ISA during the 1987 Ops Lalang.He was then on a crusade to protect small businesses that were being constantly raided by the Seremban Town Council for alleged violation of rules.
That image was splashed all over newspapers and he became known as “cowboy” because of his trademark high-crowned, wide-brimmed cowboy hat which he bought during a visit to the US. Hu fell off the horse, offered to him by a pig farmer, while making his village rounds — an incident he laughingly said was an ominous sign of his fate at the polls. He lost.
