where is Huan Cheng Guan??? How come he is not in charge? The only one there is his proxy Oh Tong Keong.

First, why your gallery has all Chinese & Indians faces only? Now, it this party is for Chinese & Indians only?

For God sake, your website turns away Malays & how to make Gerakan multiracial..u forgotten rebranding last year?

Please include some Malay faces-activites so Gerakan Penang shows real MULTIRACIAL after loosing to DAP GE2008. Whats that Malay Dr at CC? Not Malay?

After what Gerakan & UMNO did to Malay Penangites since 1972, we have no trust in Gerakan until today.

Think…how to gain that trust…

Those already fail in last General election should not be included as Penang people already reject them.
When they hold position as Exco / ADUN /MPPP/MPSP councilors few years ago and they had not contribute positive to the development of all Penangnite, they already been condemned. If they are selected again to contest next election, do you think Penangnite will support them?
By running Gerakan with existing memberships and with all those old face in position; I surely can predict GERAKAN will become more irrelevant. Just do a survey how many people even bother any news of GERAKAN (like current event of appointing BN coordinators)?
With old faces like Ng Fook On,Thor Teong Gee,
Wong Mun Hoe,Goh Kheng Sneah etc with “leadership ” of Teng Hock Nan , This SHIP named GERAKAN will sank again (not by TSUMANI but in peaceful water).

GERAKAN, Please wake up, important thing is to attract back the vote of Penangnite with fresh recruitment of member, new face of candidate who capable off fighting for the benefit of Penangnite - not those only thinks of Position in GERAKAN and become ADUN.

GERAKAN need those people who success as bussinessmen, professonals, journalists, manager/executives in big company ( not full time politician with not other proven talents). By attract them as Gerakan Candidate, then, Penangite again elect them to run Penang state again.

Why GERAKAN become irrelevant ?

1) Some of their leaders still doesn understand the reason why they are being rejected. They didnt loose the election. They just drove the voters to vote for Pakatan without alternative choice.

2) Gerakan them revamp. Deliver program like Cat Watch. However, they forgot to ask does this program brings them an inch closer to taking back the seats from Pakatan ?
The rakyat will say, thanks for the good show. We enjoy them but no, we will not give our votes to you.

3) Gerakan lost in their direction. Where to go and how to go ?

4) Leaders who are pass their useful life but still hanging on to the position. Well, this is how they “LOVE” their party. Hanging on and denying others the position to contribute.

5) Still waiting for UMNO to lead. UMNO has already lead you to your downfall. What else are you waiting for ?

I’m suprise to see few comments asking why no Malay in the list and laughing at GERAKAN claimed themselve as multiracial party.

For those who said these, please look at DAP or even KeAdilan. What different they are from Gerakan?

Their candidates are either 95% Chinese for DAP or 90% Malay for KeAdilan. And yet, both parties also claimed themselve as multiracial.

Dear Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Dr. Teng Hock Nan.

Hi Dato’, just a few question for Dato’:

1) Are you an Agent for Communist Party in Malaysia particulary in Party Gerakan?

2) Are all the 17 coordinators also Agent for Communist Party and are they being funded by Chin Peng or Communist Party?

Thank you and hope Dato’ can reply ASAP.

Wira Gerakan

Thanks to whoever that helps to cut the comments from voiceofpolitics to this blog.

However, I have further questions for your State Chairman where the editor will be further interviewing in the next few weeks.

a) Was the Organizational Structure Behaviour considered when the decisions was made by the State Working Committee ? For example, do we understand what are the needs of one ADUN vs another in terms of leaders that they want, problems that is being faced that maps to the capability of the Co-Ordinator selected ? Was there a strategy supporting the selection in terms of re-capturing Penang or it was put in to hopefully capture 1 or 2 seats so that it is no longer 0 only ?

b) As your theme of People First, Performance Now, what will be your KPI towards measuring this effectiveness of the Co-Ordinator ?

c) As pointed out by many commentters above, when they questions about multiracial, I am interpreting that they are interested to know about your idealogy. Are all these candidates train to profound your idealogy forward or they are only focus on People First, Performance Now ? What are the guiding lights to them when being challenged with inputs or requests that goes against the idealogy of the Party but trying to please the people ? Do all of them have fully read your Party Constituion and understand what it represents ?

d) What is your thoughts on Leaders without a position, they can’t contribute effectively ?

e) How do you gauge the success or even failure of this program ? What are your back up plans then ?

Reply to Bayeap and Badenglish,

Your further notes have taken into our consideration.

For your information, the said interview will be published on Gerakan4u.com, on June 4 (Thursday).

Thanks.

Refer back to the above comments. Future foretold (a) maybe soon become reality.

VP requires 3 weeks to quit !!! Why ?
I will provide some analysis based on the recent events.
a) It is a tradition that he has been using this type of tactics in the past successfully and yielded results that help him climb the ladder. Statement are usually issue via press or through grapevine and sit back to wait for the leaders to reach out to him to negotiate. I am sure those in the inner circle of the Party politics will understand the inputs above.

b) Will someone who has worked extra “hard” via various means will just give up like this ? Okay, I the hard is in the “hard” and it is up to readers to interpret.

c) Will the person have more to lose if he leave or more to lose if he stays back ? What position he is holding and where are the links…

d) If it is because the current Chairman is inefficient or lack of leaderdership per his claim, then gather his people and boot out the Chairman via democratic process in 3 years time. Why can’t he wait or is it that he doesn’t have enough support to do this ?

e) For the party, this is a break or make decision. Tolerate further this behaviour, you will loose more strong supporters as the Party is already known to be incapable of taking a strong stand. Negotiate further, it will become your slogan - Don’t rock the boat. Compromise, compromise, compromise. This will pave the way for you to compromise your Party downfall.

f) What do you do when in such situation ?
Let’s recall what we do as children and learn from them. If you are playing bluff, what do you do when you think your friend is bluffing ? Once this bluff has been called upon, I am sure your friend will find it difficult to pull this trick again.

The appointment led to the recent tussle between decency and gungho, a state chairman against an elected national vice-president. Would the public interested to know what transpired in the recent Gerakan’s affair? Yes and no. Some say the sour relationships started since Teng took over the state chief. Previously hours were sqaundered in CWC meeting with everyone listening and yawning over the their argument. It may not be a big deal after all due to the party’s performance since 308. Nonetheless, it is perceived that those who are selected would likely be the candidate of the costituency in the next election. It is the same old thing about position and power in any political parties.

A comrade asked yesterday: what has Teng achieves so far in Penang? For that it was also him and several quarters of the senior members need to be blamed in causing the clean-sweep. We can’t just blame everything on UMNO as if that is the benchmark of the swing. If one is really good and has been working hard to serve and gain support in his area, the voters are not blind. Some say it is time for the members and people to see that indeed there is a need to change certain leaderships of the party. The senior members need to realise that their time may be short lived and must learn to let go – this is what encourage the youth members. Some still consider Huan as part of the youth. Huan’s claim that he may leave the party along with 100 branches is a talking point too. Why 3 weeks? The Pemuda wants to investigate the true voice of the grassroots particularly among the youths. The public may perceives Gerakan is actively trying to revamp the party – a sign of democracy. On the other hand, the crucial question is whether what Huan did has a selfish agenda to promote his own cause, after all there had been implied records to prove his intention. Positively should the CWC decided to chop him off this time to prevent a floodgate or any similar threat, it would be a good move with the general election is still about 3 years away. Actually would it makes any difference? What if that cause is for the benefit of the party as a whole?

Many have the answer of who is the President supporting. As for now whether a warning or a show cause is issued, we can expect some dramatic events in the coming weeks.

Such internal squabbling may even made it harder for Gerakan to rebuild itself (especially in Penang). Locals or DAP may be laughing over the matter with banner of criticism displayed openly. Would Teng lead Penang Gerakan to hell or is Huan doing it for selfish agendas? Perhaps I should rule out the issue of self-interest, after all it is part and parcel of the game. Above all, the party must realise Gerakan will have to revamp its tarnished reputation and cannot operate in its own space, ignoring the public perception.

habis lah gerakan dengan adanya THN,tak bungkus pun ta pau lah

Good day to all SLC members,

Firstly, I would like to express my congratulation to all newly appointed BN Coordinators.

Secondly, I would like to suggest that the SLC should organise a Public Speaking Training & Problem Solving Skill courses for all Coordinators and its Service Centre helpers as they are the one will deal with the rakyat.

Thirdly, I would like to suggest the SLC should hand out annual activities fund to the Coordinators to carry out the activities with its members and rakyat such as Media & Rakyat BBQ gathering.

Last but not least, I would like to ask for the settlement between Sdr Dr. Teng and Sdr. Huan problem as it will cause more harm to the party in the rakyat image.

Regards,
Sdr. Fong Kwok Khuen
Committee Member
PGRM Rangoon Road Branch

Good day Saudara and Saudari,

(i) Thanks for listen to my suggestions.
(ii) Thanks for commenting my message (FUTURE). I really understand your feeling, as we love our party.

I appreciated that we have blog to discuss this issue. I strongly believed that the case regard to the appointment is going to be solved. Let us don’t fight among ourselves in front of newspaper.

The relationship between Sdr. NG YAM HONG and Dr TENG may be solved or it may take time to build up relationship. Do you have the updated news beside listen from newspaper?

Good day Mr Dog Watch, we all may do mistakes either minor or serious. If people realized their mistake and feel regret. Should we give them a chance and work with them to bring the changes to GERAKAN?

Let us work together; we can create the bright future for people and GERAKAN.

Dear Sdra Editor,

Suggest the editorial, consider collecting or publishing more news about Gerakan Youth and Wanita, not all levels but at least State level, simply because those are also part of Gerakan family.

Although it’s shown “Gerakan For You”, but please make the web be “For Us”, too!

Thank you.

Good luck!

Morning Mr Dog Watch, I believe Dr Teng has his valid reason making that decision. He definitely not dreaming of the Chief Minister post. He sure has long term plan to us. He just not make it clear and we feel confusing only.

In fact the similar issue also occured in Penang Island. Local leaders such as Mr Mah Nai Hock from “Cawangan Sungai Pinang” resigned from the positions hold in state but still keep their membership. They actually love GERAKAN as they never make noise through the newspaper, adding that they stopped their supporters to quit GERAKAN.

The leader Mr Mah involved in Penang Fo Yi Haemodialysis Society, he hold the chairpersonship for number of years. He work closely with other six chairmen from difference branches, they never against any instructions from state chairman. Can we say he is a good leader? Personally, I think so!!!  He know the problems why we GERAKAN lost in Sungai Pinang, he also know how to win the seat back within three years time. The residents know him well as he used to appear on newspapers. He had assisted two ex-ADUNs such as Dr Kang and Y.B Looi. He did help Dr Toh during 308 elections.

Dear Chairman (Dr Teng), I have few suggestions for your considerations. (i) Please keep Mr Mah’s positions in party; (ii) Please have an open heart meeting with the local leaders, (iii) Collect their opinions and reconsider their suggestions, (iv) If you still insist your decision, please meet them and explain to them, in fact they need the RESPECT. 

Dr Teng, we don’t want “A” team and “B” team, we want MANY STRONG LOCAL and NATIONAL LEADERS to rebuild GERAKAN’s image. The Malaysian citizens also want us to be like that too. Please settle the problem occurred in the party as soon as possible, WE NEED TO LOOKING INTO A SYSTEM WHICH WILL EFFECTIVELY BUILDING AS MANY LEADERS AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED TO FIND THE TALENTS (at least 1000), TRAIN THEM, PROVIDE ENOUGH STAGES FOR THEM TO PERFORM AND MAKE THEM FAMOUS AS HERO TO PUBLIC.

We only have maximum three years time; we must “SATU HATI”. If Dr Khor (Party Chairman) and Dr Teng (State Chairman) have reconsidered our opinions, we need to follow their final decision too. Because they are the key person to get blame from public if they decide wrongly.

dear all,

after so many comments and sharing above, i hv only 1 line to comment.

Gerakan Appointment of BN Coordinators hv becomes it’s party disaster, crisis and nightmare. Good luck Gerakan.

Hi Praba, agree !! this is what i hv been telling, voice out and comments over here. I hv closely monitor Gerakan after 308 but they still never change till now.

Seems like i not alone here…

It is apparent that the Coordinators appointment has brought “more bad than good” to the party.

I hope that the leadership of Gerakan will take immediate measure to rectify the weaknesses. The source of the problems seems that the grass root’s ideas are not considered and respected by the decision makers. Things could have been different if they care to listen…

Anyway, it is time to right the wrong. May be leaders should reduce Huang Cheng Guan’s suspension period…. and implemnent members friendly system (listen to members and rope in members who are competent and acceptable to both members and the public)from now onwards !

Penangites are till looking forward to Gerakan to contribute and perhaps lead Penang again ....Don’t miss the bigger picture !

dog watch,

this is politic, to bring down your enemy no matter from outside or within as long as to keep stay in power. It happen for many thousands years since human civilization.

Semua Sdra. dan Sdri.

Pandangan saya sendiri adakah patut Sdra. Huan Cheng Guan di hukum, saya memang tidak setuju kerana adakah Sdra. Huan kata ini semua sebelum Sdra. Huan keluarkan dalam surat khabar adalah salah, kerana Sdra. adalah bantu akar umbi yang menyuara adalah satu kesalahan? mengapakah pihak atasan tidak kaji beramai-ramai ahli Parti Gerakan bantahan terhadap lantikan Unit Penyalaras Pelaksaan (ICU) itu sebelum mengumumkan pelantikan tersebut?

sehinggalah ahli Parti Gerakan kita sekarang kurang bersembagat un tuk menjuangan bersama kerana pihak atas tidak mahu ambil tahu pandangan akar umbi sedang berfikir apa yang terjadi dalam politik semasa.

Perbincangan dan perbincangan sudah terlepas, tetapi saya lihat tiada berubahan sedikit pun, dulu saya hantar e-mail dalaman orang kata mengapa saya hantar dan tidak berhenti-henti, tetapi saya beritahu mereka saya hantar e-mail semua hanya untuk dalaman sahaja, sehingga beramai-ramai sudah terima selama ini hanya Sdra. Tan Sri Dr. Chin Fook Weng yang jawab kepada saya sahaja, adakah pihak atasan anggap kita semua ini orang bawa sahaja dan tidak boleh bersuara, bagaimana akan naikan perkhidmatan dengan baik jika seseorang yang tertentu memang tidak menjalankan tanggungjawab beliau sendiri, kalau hendak buat yang ikhlas pandang dulu cermin kata adakah beliau sendiri betul-betul hendak khidmat untuk RAKYAT sebenarnya, kalau hendak buat terbaik dan orang tidak buat tomahan, awal lagi buat khidmat betul-betul, kalau dulu ikut khidmatan yang baik untuk RAKYAT tiada seoarang yang mahu bersuarat, jika betul-betul hendaki berkhidmat kepada RAKYAT tidak perlu ada JAWATAN yang bernama juga boleh khidmat!

anda semua tahu jika komet dalam http://WWW.gerakan4u semua orang akan lihat berbandingan dengan saya hantaran dalam sahaja, macam ini pun pihak atasan juga tidak bersuara lagi, mereka tunggu anda semua keluarkan media / surat khabar baru nak PECAT / BEKUKAN AHLI baru you orang tak boleh cakap lain kali, FAHAM kawan.

saya! jika kerja saya akan bekerja betul-betul bagi Gerakan jika tak dapat menjalankan tanggungjawab sendiri minta keluarka n diri sendiri sebelum orang lain tomahan lagi malu, nasihat kepada anggota Unit Penyelarasan Pelaksanaan ( ICU ) di Pulau Pinang.

SATU HATI.

Saya cadang Penyelaras di Machang Bubuk adalah
1) Khor Tzu Kon              
2) Teng Hock Nam
3) Chin Fook Weng
Antara 3 Peminpin ini pasti akan menang balik Dun Machang Bubuk, siapa sokong ? Saudara Soon Kok Wah? Jimmy Choo? Penangites? New Idea? CKL? Praba?

doc wacth ada tambahan tadi terlalu banyak yang diulangi ada yang telah lupa tambahan masuk balik sekarang saya izinkan saya tambah sedikit.

selupa dengan kata-kata YAB Perdana Menbteri Malaysia:

1 MALAYSIA, RAKYAT DIDAHULUKAN, PENCAPAIAN DIUTAMAKAN,

saya lihat perlantik itu bukan semua orang yang saya katakan, yang makan ciri tahulah pedas OK.

kalau yang mereka betul-betul hendak berkhidmat mengapakah terdahulu mereka buat tak tahu sahaja dan ada yang tidak dapat membantu bekas Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Kawasan ( ???? yang makan ciri tahulah penaskan ??? ) semasa menjadi seorang telah di lihat bagus oleh pihak atasan, untuk pandangan saya itu cerah hadapan mereka tetapi jika seseorang hendak menjawat jawatan yang telah lihat baik oleh pihak atasan maka mereka mestilah bekarja bersungguh-sungguh, kerana ada orang yang menjawat jawatan kepentingan diri sendiri tak kan pihak atasan tidak tahu pergerakan mereka, kalau pihak atasan tidak tahu pergerakan mereka bermakna pihak atasan tidak mahu ambil tahu apa yang mereka telah lakukan disebabkan orang yang mereka lantik itu tidak menjalankan tugas dan tanggungjawab betul, itulah kelihatan pihak atasan kita.

salam hormat & salam Aidil Fitri, tapi tidak panjang sangat tambahan itu? betul kah cat watch!!!???

saya telah hantar e-mail kepada pihak atasan untuk perbincangan tentang hal-hal lain sedikit bersama saya selalu hormati NSL, tetapi sehingga sekarang tidak sesiapa pun hendak maklum balas hendak bincang atau tidak boleh bincang, tetapi sehingga sekarang SATU HATI saya tiada dalam hati saya, dalam hati saya adalah SATU FIKIRAN DAN SATU JAWAPAN OLEH SATU PEMIMPIN PARTI sahaja. 

cat watch, saya akan tungguhlah merekan maklum balas untuk perbincangan dengan saya barulah puas hati, kalau mereka anggap saya seorang sahaja buat apa hendak jumpa, buang masa untuk saya buat apa, harap dapat jawapan sebenarnya.

itulah suara akar umbi:

Jimmy Choo. 

s.k: kepada sesiapa yang berkenaan,

Jika hendak menjdikan satu Parti yang BERSATU HATI mesti hendak dengar suara daripada semua pihak keutamaan akar umbi dan telah terima pendapat mulalah untuk pertimbangkan apa yang patut didahului, AIR MUKA atau hendak HAPUSKAN SEMUA, kena buat demikian untuk kebaukan Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia barulah ada 1MALAYSIA…... kalau tidak 1MALAYSIA untuk tujuan apa?

itu pasal kita bersatu padu untuk kepentingan (R)RAKYAT bukan untuk(R)RAKAN, jika memang orang perseorangan itu tidak boleh menjalankan tanggungjawab tersendiri, maaf dikatakan TARIK DIRI lebih baik daripada dihalau oleh jika RAKYAT tidak apa lagi jika orang dalam PARTI senfiri bermaksud tak boleh pakai barulah orang halau selupa dengan orang-orang yang tertentu.

salam hormat & salam Aidil Fitri kepada Ahli Gerakan yang berugama MUSLIM. sekian.

Jimmy Choo.
