“We Are The Majority” – Lim Guan Eng Packs Out London Venues

26 May 2013

Lim Guan Eng – confident that Malaysia was changed by GE13

Against the background of rallies in KL, London’s Malaysian community crowded to see the Penang Chief Minister this weekend, who spoke to students from the LSE and then at a gala dinner in Kensington on Saturday night.

The reason for his surprise visit?  He was accompanying the Governor to see the world famous Kew Gardens!

It may have seemed out of context with the cauldron bubbling back home, but Lim Guan Eng explained the vision to restore Penang’s own once fabled but now neglected and degraded botanic gardens, which are distinguished for being the oldest in South East Asia.

This visit to Kew was part of a long-running liaison programme to make sure that Penang achieves the highest quality in its project, which was only confirmed after the election returned his administration.

It is a clever concept as well as a romantic notion.  Kew attracts millions of visitors to West London every year, as well as providing a place of beauty and education for local people to enjoy.

A notable and well kept botanic garden would be a similar attraction for Penang, so how short-sighted of BN to have neglected this ‘jewel’ and to have failed to have seen the economic potential.  Mr Lim made this an example of the way he plans to change the way Penang is governed.

We are the majority now

In his speeches and dialogues the Chief Minister insisted that although the election has left BN still in government they are no longer in power.  In a reference to the rallies in KL he insisted that the people in power cannot ignore the power of the people.

400 Malaysian students crowded to hear CM at the LSE – before GE13 many would have been fearful of being spotted there by BN’s note-takers and Special Branch

The future lies with Pakatan Rakyat he explained to the audience, which was as dismayed at the disparity between votes and seats and at the deluge of information about cheating and bribery by BN as the demonstrators in KL.
