转载： Respect to Penang Chief Minister

哇哇瓦，肥原转性了，竟然转载英文的东东在肥原废语这个华文的部落格里！！没办法，在伊眉儿上看见这么值得推广的文章，我一定会转载的呀，你看，去哪里找这么平易近人的首长呢？？看好好哦，是一州的首长哦！！而且搭飞机还是坐经济舱的，撇开有没有钱的问题，要一个马来西亚的首长，不要说首长，稍微有官职的家伙，放下面子，与民同坐，何等困难哦！！林冠英给马来西亚那些自以为高高在上的家伙实实在在地上了一堂课。

林冠英，好样的，我支持你！！！


Friday, May 02, 2008 As Ning and I were lining up to board our flight to Penang on Wednesday afternoon, I spotted a familiar face standing in front of us in the queue. So I whispered to Ning.

Me: Look in front of us. It's Guan Eng.
Ning: Who?Me: YAB Mr. Lim Guan Eng, the Chief Minister of Penang .
Ning: No lah.
Me: Yes lah! I know how he looks lah. It's the CM lah.
Ning: Takkan CM jalan sorang sorang. If he's the CM, where's the bodyguards and the officers and the rombongan and kaum kerabat?
Me: Tak percaya? Watch and learn.

So I walked up to Yang Amat Berhormat, introduced myself and asked to take a picture. He smiled and obliged.

YAB CM: Hey, I know you! You're Ning Baizura!
Ning: YAB Lim, good afternoon.
YAB CM: Come, come, we take a picture. Vernon , here's my card. Email me the pictures OK.
Me: Definitely, sir.

Ambik kau. CM pun peminat katanya!Ning and I really felt honoured. But we felt more surprised that the Chief Minister of a state was travelling all by himself like any normal rakyat jelata. But the biggest surprise in store for us was yet to come.As usual, we sat in First Class. I expected the CM to be seated somewhere in front of us but then I realised he wasn't in First Class. Where did he disappear to???I popped my head round the curtain that veils First Class and Economy Class and guess who I saw sitting in the front row seat of Economy quietly reading the newspapers?YAB Mr. Lim, you have my deepest respect. You have made history by being the first Chief Minister in this country to sit in Economy Class whilst in office as Chief Minister. You really mean what you say when you talk about cost-cutting. Sir, you have shown me leadership by example.Of course I asked permission to take his picture sitting in Economy and he laughed. And I said I'd blogged about it and he laughed some more, and gave permission. Ketua Menteri yang berjiwa rakyat.
