Christmas dinner for Pusing old folks

I could not help but be reminded of last year's sad incident of a committee member who suffered a heart attack, and died soon after in the Batu Gajah hospital. He was at the same table as guests of honour, YB V Sivakumar and YB Hee Yit Foong, and some district councilors, one of whom represented YB Fong Po Kuan.

This year there was no VIP table and apart from some local ex-councilors, I could identify only two DAP veterans, Frankie Wong and the indomitable Bemban chairman. At our table, was an ex-aide (with her husband) of YB Fong.

After the dinner, I enquired and the unofficial explanation was that because of the uncertainty over the Perak government, the committee decided not to invite either side of the political divide! But coffee shop talk would put it as a general bias towards DAP instead. There is another rival committee for another social activity aligned to MCA in Pusing.
