The 60,000 Strong Diners at Westport

One Malaysia in Westport on 20 April 2013
At 5.30 pm on 20 April 2013 we set on our journey by chartered bus  to Westport, Pulau Indah  in Port Klang.

Took us 90 minutes to get in as the jam was humongous!

There were many Malay youths on motorbikes waving BN flags and they were guiding us into the Westport complex.

We saw Najib for PM posters all along the way into Westport.

He looked dapper and debonair!

After a messy search for our table B1937 under the Blue Balloon which we never did find, our PJ group plumped ourselves onto a few empty tables. Talk about MCA organisation!

Food started close to 8 pm. For such a large crowd many restaurants were involved in preparing the food.

Food was great especially the herbal chicken and the nestum fried prawns.

There were song and dance galore during the dinner but no one really cared.

Then it was the turn for Michelle Yeoh to speak. She looks pretty and I guess she spoke what should be spoke fittingly in such a gathering.

Najib was the penultimate speaker but there was little response from the crowd to his speech nor his exultation of Satu Malaysia. They were  too far away to hear as the field was pretty large, stretching from one end to another.

To many, it was a mammoth event with imported singers from Taiwan.

Most enjoyed the food, I can see.

Well, every function has to end.

For this event, I wonder what was its intended purpose.

If it had wanted a gung-ho, performance in front of PM, the MCA and its organisers  should have marshaled at least the MCA youth divisions from all districts in Selangor. Dressed them like Chinese soldiers of old!

That would really put the punch into this function.

But, alas all you brought to this gathering were senior gentlemen,ladies and kids too!

For their next gathering they should learn from these tips and cues.

Bring on the voting youths!
