GE14 | Although DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has been hit by an avalanche of criticisms from his opponents, including graft allegations and accusations of being arrogant since he entered his second term as Penang chief minister, grassroots support for him and his father Lim Kit Siang remain solid.

This was evident in the thousands who waited in the rain and cheered heartily when he and Kit Siang appeared at Pakatan Harapan's two grand ceramah in Penang last night.

And despite being constantly demonised by their opponents in Umno, there is a noticeable increase in the Malay crowd at both events and ceramah in other states as well.
