Mr. Minister, I am not your fan!

As lion dance performers, we often have opportunities to meet with those so-called "big guns", such as cabinet minister. In 1997, we were invited to perform in an occasion where the then Minister of Housing and Local Government, Dr. Ting Chew Pei was also present. We were happily snapping photo with the then powerful man after our performance.

In year 2004, I campaigned for Dr. Lee Boon Chye (top) from Parti Keadilan Rakyat during the General Election. Coincidentally, Dr. Lee's rival in the contest of Gopeng parliamentary seat was the man whom I met 7 years ago. Ting eventually won the battle, but he is no more a powerful man, neither in the cabinet nor his own party - MCA.

p/s: I am third from the right (standing, of course)
