Tribute to DAP Parliamentary Leader, YB Lim Kit Siang, on the occasion of his 70th birthday on Sunday, 20th February 2011: Tribute to DAP Parliamentary Leader, YB Lim Kit Siang, on the occasion of his 70th birthday Tribute to Lim Kit Siang by Lim Guan Eng How does one acclaim a man who is a living legend? Recognised by every Malaysian for his tireless advocacy for justice and freedom. Acknowledged by friend and foe as an indefatigable fighter for a better Malaysia. And admired universally for his unquestioned courage, incorruptibility and integrity. Tribute to Lim Kit Siang by Lim Guan Eng on behalf of the Lim Clan Tonight Kit's family, loved ones and dear friends gather to celebrate the 70th birthday of an exceptional personality, remarkable person and extra-ordinary man. Tribute to Lim Kit Siang by Dr Chen Man Hin Right from the day he joined DAP in the latter half of 1966, Lim Kit Siang showed his flair for politics. He saw that the party could be a national party, because of its ideology of a quest for a just and equal society - a Malaysian Malaysia where all races are equal. Tribute to Lim Kit Siang by Karpal Singh When I first came back from Singapore, I began practicing in Alor Setar in 1969 and when May 13th happened, I decided something needed to be done so I joined DAP. I had heard of Kit and Fan Yew Teng as well as Dr Chen and Lee Lam Thye who were all part of the strong group they had back then. Birthday greetings to Lim Kit Siang from YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah After a long journey in your political career, weathering the often rough and tumble of Malaysian politics, you somehow managed to survive and carve a popular name, an icon among your admirers and a 'political bug', so to speak, among your opponents. Tribute to Lim Kit Siang by Teresa Kok Someone from Barisan Nasional once described Kit Siang as a tragic hero, fighting for a lost cause. He was jailed twice under ISA and his own son Lim Guan Eng was also jailed twice and yet he continued to soldier on for the party's cause for decades without seeing his efforts rewarded. He carried the cross of DAP's struggle through the good and bad years persistently. Tribute to Lim Kit Siang by Liew Chin Tong Lim Kit Siang tirelessly reminds Malaysia what she could have achieved - a just and progressive democracy that celebrates diversity, respects human rights and shares resources equitably. Forty-five years ago, he set out to make that a reality for all.
