Edward Lee for Selangor State Assembly

Met Edward this afternoon after more than 15 years. I knew him when I volunteered for Malaysian Care Day Training Centres. These are centres to equip children with mental disabilities with social skills, vocational skills etc. In short helping them to become independent adults.

Edward used to fetch these children for outings to places like Port Dickson. The children just adored Edward. This is because he has so much love for them.

I lost touch with Edward after I stopped my voluntary work, went back to Ipoh to do my chambering. Didn't really take notice of the Save Gasing Hill campaign, Puchong incinerator controversy or the MPBJ billboards fiasco where Edward was actively involved. Even when I saw his picture as the candidate for Bukit Gasing State seat, it didn't cross my mind that it was the Edward I knew. Not until I read his resume. 15 years have added a lot of white hairs to his head. But it didn't diminish his love for those people with mental disabilities. He shared with me that he still keep in touch with some of the students and would take them out every now and then.

Yes, as Zorro says 'Edward is really God sent to the people of Bukit Gasing'

I envy the folks of Bukit Gasing for having such a candidate as Edward Lee, someone whose track record in the public arena is impeccable as well as someone who is full of compassion for those who often cannot speak for themselves.

Edward Lee - The next State Assemblyman for Bukit Gasing. Amen
