KUALA LUMPUR: Former Gerakan president Tun Dr Lim Keng Yaik could not make it to the party’s Life Member Council (LMC) meeting yesterday due to health reason.
He was supposed to chair the meeting at Wisma PGRM, here, yesterday morning.
Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, who chaired the meeting instead, told the delegates that the veteran leader was down with pneumonia and required treatment as well as ample rest.
“I’ve spoken to him during the last three weeks and he asked me to send his regards to all members,” he said before chairing the conference. Lim, widely known for his witty remarks, became the LMC chairman after resigning as the party’s adviser in October last year.
Koh meanwhile told the meeting that the LMC, which acts as a special body to the party, currently has 231 members. He said the party’s younger generation could benefit from the vast experience of the life members, thus closing the gap between the two generations. — Bernama
