Former DAP member Hew Kuan Yau, fondly known as 'Superman' has urged the local Chinese to support Pakatan Harapan instead of BN, citing Chinese funeral customs.

This, said the controversial figure, is partly due to the blue colour used by BN being similar to the colour of Chinese funeral lanterns.

"Only two coalitions will contest in the general election, the red representing Harapan, and the blue representing BN," he said at Pakatan Harapan's fundraising dinner in Kluang last night.
