lee lam thye


Lee Lam Thye*
In his days he was the Bukit Bintang man
No Bee Anne man could unseat him
He worked throughout his tenancy

With his old typewriter
He would walk the road
He helped those who needed it
He was reachable to all in his constituency

He didn't have to campaign
The people in Bukit Bintang did it for him
Every election he would win
MCA had to crawl back to its shell

Because of internal squabbles in DAP
He quit his post and politics
And devouted his time and energy
Helping the people and country

Though many had said he was a frog
He had his principles in his life
He quit all positions in DAP
For a while he was alone

Then he joined Kuok foundation
Later he joined other organizations
All the while still helping the people
In different capacity yet still a man of principle

We don't find such personality
Coming up through the nation
But his works in Bukit Bintang is well known
The helpless can count on him for assistance

*now Tan Sri Lee
