Sorry I have no opportunity to be in the picture with the new minister. Everybody want to show witness that they were with the minister. I am very lucky I do not have to do that. Even if I was not there  people say I was there. because what minister said mainly same to my ideas that I was talking to many people. 

Bringing people together is not an easy thing. We have to reward them then they come. BUT to have good organisation and strong in mission, we need more volunteers and respect and enjoy in working. Do not stress people because later may be many are sick. SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!
