Pada hari Jumaat yang penuh barakah ini sahabat baik saya
Tuan Syed Shahir bin Syed Mohamud, mantan Presiden MTUC, selamat mengangkat sumpah sebagai
Ahli Dewan Negara atau Senator mewakili kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang.
Saya merasakan perlantikan ini amat wajar dan kena pada
orangnya memandangkan Tuan Syed yang saya kenali adalah merupakan seorang
pemimpin dan pejuang rakyat yang amat istiqomah, berkaliber dan berwibawa.
Beliau seorang yang tegas tetapi sangat tajam dalam berfikir
dan membuat keputusan. Secara peribadinya seorang yang sangat baik hati dan menghormati serta menghargai sumbangan dan jasa kawan-kawan.
Tahniah YB Senator Tuan Syed Shahir.
