On Guan Eng, Syed Saddiq and the need for new leaders

[superadmin]

It was touching to read a posting by Lim Guan Eng about a handwritten note from the young MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman to mark his 60th birthday last week.

In a frank and personal note, Syed Saddiq wrote that he had once thought that Guan Eng was “the embodiment of evil”, after years of indoctrination and misshapen views about the Lim family.

I have met Guan Eng a few times, in Penang and Kota Kinabalu. He is like a bespectacled nerd, with old-fashioned greasy hair combed backwards like John Travolta. His father, Kit Siang, has the same hairstyle. I did not see any horns, fangs or tail on him.
