Throngs of excited children and adults showed up to meet and greet neighbours and foster a closer rapport, to enjoy a variety of performances and delicious food, and to meet their state assemblyman for Damansara Utama YB Dr Cheah Wing Yin at the Mid-Autumn Festival 2010 celebration held at a field in Jalan SS2/18 Petaling Jaya on Sunday 19th September 2010.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Mooncake and Lantern Festival.
The event was organized by the office of ADUN Damansara Utama state assemblyman YB Dr Cheah Wing Yin and supported by Persatuan Penduduk SS2 Selatan, Rukun Tetangga SS2B and the Community Baptist Church SS2.
The large turnout of more than 800 people caught the organizer by surprise as they had catered food for 500 people only but the hungry guests were not complaining as they sportingly showed their happiness and joined in the celebration with happy spirit.
The joyful crowd warmly greeted their gracious host YB Dr Cheah Wing Yin when he arrived with the aid of a walker. It was the first public appearance for YB Dr Cheah in a public event. Accompanying him was his wife and Damansara Utama Support Team (DUST) members.
The people know Dr Cheah is an incredible YB with high energy level and Mai Tomyam join everyone in wishing YB Dr Cheah well and a full and speedy recovery.
