Lau Weng San walkabout in SEA Park handing out CNY lanterns and angpow packets

26th Jan, Petaling Jaya – DAP Kampung Tunku state assemblyman (ADUN) Lau Weng San was welcomed with open arms during his walkabout at the commercial areas of Section 21 SEA Park in Petaling Jaya on Sunday morning 23rd January 2011.

Many among the traders, business owners, customers and residents recognised Lau when he approached to shake hands and wish them “Gong Xi Fa Cai” (Wishing You A Properous New Year).

Lau Weng San went on a stall-to-stall visit at the SEA Park wet market and visited the shops and coffeshops in the commercial areas handing out Chinese New Year lanterns and angpow packets to traders and business owners in conjunction with the upcoming Lunar New Year. A total of 2000 Ang Pow packets and 100 lanterns were given to shoppers and traders.

The people were smiling and greeting their YB (Yang Berhormat). They were excited and happy in the interaction with their “wakil rakyat” (elected representative). Many enthusiastically posed for photos with their YB.

During the walkabout, the people spoke to him and some of them used the opportunity to highlight their problems and concerns.

Assisting Lau in the two-hour-long walkabout were Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) councillor Jeyaseelan Anthony, Darren Tiong, supporters and volunteers who completed the occassion at 10.30 am with light meal and drinks at Khoong Restaurant in Jalan 21/17.

SEA Park is in the Kampung Tunku constituency. Lau Weng San said this is an annual gesture to greet the people of Kampung Tunku and SEA Park especially for the auspicious festive season. Unlike last year, Lau Weng San gave lanterns to traders to decorate their shops and stalls to make it more attractive for shoppers in conjunction with the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration.
