A DAP CNY

The Democratic Action Party (DAP) had their open house on CNY6 at the KL and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall. Parking was insufficient, so many had to park at the roadside. As a result, our over-zealous traffic police were there to issue summonses though it was just a peripheral road and the road obstruction was minimal. That's double standards for ya. Many DAP stalwarts were there, Saudara Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Teresa Kok, Gobind Singh, Karpal Singh, Fong Kui Loon, Tan Kok Wai, Tony Phuah and Loh Gwoh Bourne. Wan Azizah represented PKR and several members from PAS made an appearance. The Selangor MB came right as I was leaving and even RPK came!

The whole venue was decorated very nicely in red and the stage had an oustanding 3D backfrop. Visitors were treated to a chinese orchestra performance, a lion dance by the 29 times world champion from Muar (a very daring display of skill and dexterity), a senior citizen's choir (unfortunately like running your fingers against a blackboard), a chinese acrobatic troupe (one cute male performer with bared midriff) and a line dancing group (they were kids!). The line for the food was quite bad, kinda like the Sunway toll, but at least it was moving. The "prize" that awaited was horrible. For kids below the age of 12, they gave away red packets and a DAP Rocket soft toy.

After the whole thing, we drove over to OUG for a proper lunch of Ah Loy's famous curry mee. Haha. Turns out he has a new variety-- seafood curry mee.
