Open House at Sri Perdana

After reading Kenny Sia's hilarious experience at Najib's open house, I came across some priceless pictures of the then Prime Minister Mahathir's open house at his old residence before he moved to Putrajaya.  It was quite accessible, the queue was not too long and Mahathir himself, his wife, his daughter Marina and even her French husband then, stood in line to shake our hands.  But due to security reasons, no photos were allowed while we shook his hands.  That would have been really PRICELESS!


My two kids were "wee" back then

I don't even know where or what Sri Perdana is now



A very young me, and an unmmarried Caroline(Small Ah E) waiting for gates to open

It was a long wait.
(note the skyline: no twin towers or KL Tower yet)



That's all the photos we had. Beyond this point, no pics allowed, and anyway, there was no digital cameras back then. You can see the two kids wilting already, from the long wait and the hunger!

Now I have to dig out the pictures of the long queue (driving queue) to get to Putrajaya Mahathir's open house, where we gave up, unlike Kenny, as the 'q' was ridiculously long.

But I have the TMJ's open house with Raja Zarith Sofia which will be up next. (No queue, just drop in , good and ample food hawker style)

Nowadays, with the children big, we do not bother going to any big shot's open house!!


Stay tuned!!
