4000 people turned up for the carnival

I was very happy and excited to see approximately 4000 people turned up at the "SATU HATI Carnival" hosted by our Gerakan. The moment was very touching and encouraging! All people regardless of old or young... male or female... Malay or Indian or Chinese... they really enjoyed themselves, at the respective sessions, which include Tug of War, Telematches, Stall/Station Games, Children Colouring Competition and Karaoke Singing Competition.

I was glad that members of Kelab Anak Malaysia Tanjung, headed by Sdra Kah Loon, were also present and assisted in organizing for the telematches. It was nice to see some members of theirs won the 1st match of "Indoor Dragon Boat". But of course our Sdra Mark Ooi (Vice Chairman of Gerakan Penang State Youth) and Sdra Lip Gap (Vice Chairman of Gerakan Tanjung Youth) were counted in, too. Somehow, they still looked very "fit", probably they have been doing regular exercises.

I noticed the ladies have been quite STRONG these days, some of you might not know that, they in fact won in the match of tug of war, contested between MEN and WOMEN... really NO JOKE! Ladies are in POWER, not only at home, but at our carnival, too!

Our Sdra Khoon Leng (Secretary of Gerakan Tanjung Youth) was assigned as Team Captain for Yellow. Besides having well done his roles as the Team Captain, he was walking around with his camera... I strongly believe that was intentionally for photo-collections for his wonderful blog. Sdra Khoon Leng, please keep up your good work! You're very dedicated and commited to our Gerakan!

Of course, we must not forget the various good tasted Hawker Foods... ummmmm... fantastic! Terima Kasih BESAR kepada aunties and uncles... well arranged and cooked! Penangites always need you...

I fully support the statement made by our Sdra Dr Koh Tsu Koon at the Closing Ceremony... "Gerakan will be BACK!!!"

Gerakan must always hold such events for all our friends... Sdra-Sdra... Sdri-Sdri...

Regards.
