LIVELY music and scrumptious food created a merry mood at the Chinese New Year open house hosted by Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh.
The luncheon at SJK(C) Sin Kang along Jalan Thean Teik in Penang saw guests being entertained by a live band while sampling an array of local delights.
Ramkarpal was thrilled with the turnout and expressed his delights over the spirit of togetherness at the event.
Also present was Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, who commended Ramkarpal and a few others for their significant contribution as MPs.
“They are the voice of the people.
“They not only stand their ground against opposition MPs but against the ministers as well.
“They play a pivotal role in defending the policies that bring benefits to the public, ” said Chow.
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, who was also present, shared that the Malaysian government had been ranked 51st in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).
“Previously, we were ranked 61 in the CPI. We have moved 10 places higher.
“This was possible due to the clean administration of the Pakatan Harapan government, ” Lim said.
