Thanks @tims  
Using the padding feature I was able to improve the readability of numbers (the numbers are outside the bars). This has partially solved my problem. However it seems impossible to have them right-aligned (similar to TopN chart) as the 'valueLabel' class has defined inline style of 'position:absolute' against the div element.  
Any thoughts on this ?
