Therefore director Silver, Jack Lim and the main cast of "Ah Beng The Movie: 3 Wishes" were deeply honoured to have support for the local production, which is also the first local Chinese movie to be released alongside Hong Kong's Chinese New Year blockbusters. "I know we are challenged by big foreign films. But I hope we can gain your support for this piece. Don't let us lose horribly to them," said Jack Lim, who brought his family along with him, when he addressed the Malaysian crowd. Meanwhile, in conjunction with the theme of the movie, Datuk Seri said, "As Prime Minister of this country, I have to ensure that I can create a very conducive environment. I have to ensure there's peace, stability, good policies and implementation, so that all Malaysians can fulfil their hopes and wishes."
