My Father's house has many rooms;



 if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?.... John 14:2 

This was a funeral I attended on Saturday for Felix Dicom, a close family friend or rather our families knew one another well. Felix’s eldest son became a priest, Fr Fabian Dicom and said the funeral mass that morning.

Fr Fabian addressing the congregation.
 “Felix’ said Fr Fabian ‘means Happy and he lived up to his name and was a very thankful man”. 


A most solemn funeral but grand for it was concelebrated by eleven priest including Fr Fabian.

What caught my attention was when Fr Fabian mentioned thanking the ‘Ipoh Priest’s’ for their attendance did I realize that we had 4 that morning among the eleven.

The late Felix Dicom

Battle-Ground Tebing Tinggi


This was the Ceramah at Tebing Tinggi last Friday 12 April 2018.

Pakatan Harapan lights up Tebing Tinggi ....



It started at 730pm with a crowd probably amounting to 500 but by the end of the night the crowd overflowed to 3500 or more.

The crowd at 8.30pm  .....
...an hour later it had grown ....



.... and the crowd swelled.
Tebing Tinggi was a Chinese majority seat but has since become a Malay majority seat due  to the recent re-delineation

A statement posted on DAP’S Wong Kar Woh Facebook page said “Pengkalan / Station 18 will be our actual battle ground in this coming election. Tebing Tinggi has become a 57% Malay majority seat after re-delineation.”

I was pleasantly unsurprised to find Professor Abdul Aziz Bari,  in the crowd for the first time and he was inadvertently introduced by Ong Boon Piow, the current Adun, as the candidate to replace him.

Ong Boon Piow takes to the microphone ....
and inadvertently introduces Abdul Aziz Bari as his replacement ...




I had checked later and was told that the announcement was unofficial as yet. But with a Malay majority constituency it seems the way to go. It was very gracious of Ong Boon Piow to make way for Abdul Aziz Bari though.

the banner adorning the Tebing Tinggi Operations Centre
Well it seemed to be true as when they switched on the light to introduce the new Tebing Tinggi operations room there he was on the poster, Abdul Aziz Bari posing with Mahathir and Wong Kah Woh. 

It was a good night with the emcees, a Chinese and Malay kept reminding the crowd ‘to mark the eye’ on ballot day.

A good night with.Hew Kuan Yau...the audience loved him

Followed  by Nga Kor Meng, the last speaker for the night .....
The speakers included former MB Nizar Jamaluddin, Jenny Choy, Howard Lee, Hew Kuan Yau and that charismatic figure Nga Kor Meng as the last speaker.

...started his address at 11pm ....

....and held the attention of the crowd
Nga began speaking at 11pm but the crowd stayed with him. Hmmm, can we really gauge a party’s popularity by their audience’s presence.

...to overflowing


We’ll just have to wait and see.

Today i kaypoh-ed and attended DAP's ceramah at Ipoh Garden East. It wasn't anything surprising meaning what they said wasn't anything new.



However the attendance was very encouraging.... full attendance till the end at 11.30pm. Mind you it started since 7.30pm so as i say ... very encouraging.

Long day YB Lee .....
