TURNING 80 is pretty auspicious and birthday greetings flowed in for DAP leader Lim Kit Siang (pic) when he touched the Big Eight-O last week.

DAP leaders had a zoom gathering to mark the occasion while Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow went down memory lane with Kit Siang, looking back to the time when ordinary Chinese were afraid to openly support DAP.
