At  Taman Cempaka stall holders greeted Lim and residents took turns to be photographed with him.

When questioned about the possibility of Pakatan returning to power in Perak he said the chances were ‘good’

“Not only in Perak but nationally too.  In the urban areas the Chinese, Indian and now the Malays in the urban areas want change.

Outside the food court, residents and stall holders listen to Lim.

“For the rural areas are we are seeing an awakening and a political consciousness by the Malay voter. This is in the rural areas and FELDA schemes.

If we can have this ‘rural tsunami’ and sustain the urban vote, where urban voters were disenchanted with the ability to change, we can bring about change.

This is where Dr Mahathir and Parti Bersatu is important and have played a role to awaken the consciousness of the rural Malays.

Bersatu is doing its part and Mahathir is playing his role so the chances are good for the possibility of change and Malaysia becoming a normal democracy.
