Media members go retro at appreciation night
THE Penang DAP media appreciation night saw representatives from the press, party leaders and members dressed to the nines.

Dancing into the retro ages of disco and glitter, guests turned up in disco outfits, track suits, polka-dot dresses, chequered shirts, hats and ethnic clothing.

One even came dressed like Elvis Presley.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow entertained the crowd by singing the song Shanghai Beach by Frances Yip and Siu Lei Fei Dou by Roman Tam, while Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying belted out Moonlight in the City by Mavis Hee.

The women members of the state DAP gave a memorable rendition of Abba’s Dancing Queen.

Not to be outdone, local councillors poured their soul into I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys.

It was a fun night of karaoke featuring fan favourites from the 1980s and 90s.

The highlight of the night was the lucky draw with prizes including a return trip for one to Shanghai in China, a television, various home appliances and hotel stays.

Lim, who is Penang DAP secretary, expressed her gratitude to the media and the support given to the party.

“The role of the media is not limited to delivering news but it also functions to keep the public informed on current issues and alerting people to scams.

“The media plays a big role in creating awareness,” she said during the event held in George Town.
