This is the first time I have seen so many cabinet ministers, political leaders within a short 2 hours in a small compound.
Prime Minister Najib and few of his cabinet ministers, Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, DAP leader Lim Kit Siang, many Members of Parliament and state executive councilors attended the Chinese New Year Open House hosted by Dong Zong ( Mandarin short for United Chinese School Committees of Malaysia) at its premises in Kajang today.
It was a political showmanship of titans from both sides of the political divide before the 13th General Election which may be called anytime from now.
The Chinese community was quite disappointed with the Prime Minister for not bringing the gift anticipated by the community - the recognition by the government of the private Combined School Certificate. (Basing on Najib's normal practice of giving out money, sweet and carrots to gain goodwill and support from voters)
Prime Minister Najib arrived at about 9:45 am. He was welcomed by the organisers with lion dance performance. He joined in the traditional lou Shang and did Chinese calligraphy. After watching few cultural performance items and a few bites of food served, he left abruptly without given any speech.
However, he is the first Prime Minister to visit the Dong Zong since its formation 58 years ago, and nemesis the ruling BN government trying to tame for the past many decades. His visit has been termed as "Ice-breaking visit".
Twenty minutes later after Najib's departure, well respected DAP leader Lim Kit Siang arrived with a few Members of Parliament and state exco members. They were welcomed warmly by the lion dance troupe and the enthusiastic crowd.
The more than 5000 crowd roared further at 11:20 am to welcome Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Dr. Wan Azizah and PAS Vice-President Mahfuz.
They joined the Lou Shang ceremony and were entertainment with cultural performances and magic show.
Anwar and group left at about 12: 15 noon without making any speech.

这是我在两个小时内，同一小块地上，见到最多内阁部长，政党领袖的一次。
首相纳吉及数位内阁部长，反对党领袖安华，民主行动党资深领袖林吉祥，数位国会议员，州行政议员，今天早上，出席了『董总』假加影举办的华人农历新春大团拜。（『董总』即是马来西亚华校董事联合会总会。）
这是第十三届全国大选前，各政党领袖向华社展示力量及表演魅力的一个大好机会。全国大选自现在起的任何时侯，都将会宣布举行。
华社对首相纳吉在出席新春大团拜时，没有捎来好消息或礼物，而感觉有点失望。华社所期待的好消息就是希望首相能够在庆会上，宣布政府承认【统考文凭】。（纳吉已被众所认同，以派钱，利益及甜头来赢取人民的好感及支持的首相）
首相在早上大约九时十五分抵达团拜会场，受到主办当局的舞狮欢迎。过后他参加了“捞生”及写挥春活动。在观赏了几项文娱表演，品尝了一些捧上的早餐食物後，突然的就起身告辞。他没有发表任何演说。
不过，首相纳吉是『董总』成立58年以来，第一位到访的首相。所以，这次的新春团拜到访，被称为『破冰之旅』，也是历史性的一刻。 『董总』也是国阵政府过去数十年来，想尽办法要驯服的对手。
首相离开后约二十分钟，受人尊敬的『民主行动党』资深领袖林吉祥，随同多位国会议员，州议会成员抵达团拜会。他受到醒狮团及热情的群众热烈的欢迎。
群众在11：20 时刻，更是热血沸腾的高声喊叫，欢迎反对党领袖安华，他的太太，及回教党副主席马夫斯的抵步。
安华观赏了呈现的娱乐文娱节目，也参与了捞生活动，但没有发表任何演说。
他及团队在中午12：15离开。
