Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has urged Penangites to show up in full force for BN's open house function on February 11, where South Korean sensation Psy will be performing his hit song 'Gangnam Style'.
However, there's a catch – Lim urged participants to show up dressed in yellow and green, colours to show support for Malaysia's political change.
Lim also urge participants to dress in red, which is commonly worn by the Chinese during the Lunar new year celebration period.
“Red is for Penang, yellow is for Bersih, green is for Himpunan Hijau,” he explained, according to Nanyang Siang Pau’s online edition today.
Lim appeared unperturbed that Psy's concert will help BN draw a big crowd to the event, adding that having the superstar on Penang's shores was a boost of the state's image.
Psy is slated to perform his famous “Oppa Gangnam Style” at the Han Chiang College during the second day of Chinese New Year.
Penang MCA, which is part of the state opposition coalition, hopes that the event would draw some 60,000 people. Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak will be in attendance.
Psy’s popular song, along with its signature horse-riding dance, was the first Youtube video to receive one billion views and is the subject of many parody videos.
Lim himself had appeared in one such parody produced by his own party, DAP, urging people to vote for change.
Meanwhile, he reportedly said he has yet to receive any official invitation from BN to attend the event.
