Dear Gerakan editor team,

PKR already making changes to their party.

For example, they are going to reduce the age limit for youth from 40 to 35 years old.
Gerakan Youth age limit is still 45 years old. So, why are there so many old people allowed in gerakan youth? Is it just to hold on power by some overage youth?

Second thing, there is going to be direct voting by PKR to elect their president. Is gerakan still going to take the old delegate voting system?

Just my thought that before Gerakan want to criticise others, they must first make changes and improve themself first la! Talk is cheap!

I personally very agree if Jawi assemblyman Tan Beng Huat confirm found guity by MACC and resign for responsible.

I realise that this is a news copy from NST (UMNO control press) and not from Gerakan columnist. I urge gerakan columnist & editor don’t be so lazy to publish your own statement/blog/column. After all this blog was form for the purpose for gerakan to reach their members and support, not use as another UMNO propaganda like Utusan and NST.

(wake up gerakan!! UMNO hv slap you on the face and you still licking their boot). Dont let rakyat think this gerakan blog is another UMNO control media.

Rakyat see Gerakan as useless party, licking UMNO ass for the sake of the position in cabinet and kan tau.

IF Mr.Tan confirm guilty, compare to those corrupted UMNO ADUN, he is nothing， not even near。When UMNO ADUN hv corruption case (eg million dollors land scam, mega project, white elephant project…etc), i dont see Gerakan so high profile but instead choose to keep quite and stay away from it.

Gerakan is double face party and double standard when comes to those incident/cases, thats why rakyat hv seen gerakan true colour and is sick of it and hv voted out gerakan on last election.

I agree with Penangites.
Not just UMNO elites into corruption but all in the components, birds of the same feather flock together. So gerakan is still flocking together.

PKR already make changes in their party.
I am suprise of PKR’s courage.
I hope gerakan can have the courage to change.
Gerakan had said going to change after GE 2008. But what change had been done?

I believe not all changes in PKR is good. But some like giving direct voting to members, lowering age of youth to 35 yrs old and 30% wanita representatives are GOOD REFORMS.

Maybe gerakan can try 20% representatives for woman and lower age of youth to 38 yrs old.
There must be sincerity in gerakan if they want to reform!

hcg if not careful will “terpelanting”.

arrogance is the root of evil to begin with. arrogance pun tarak guna, he still cannot leave gerakan afte all he ugut mau keluar, what political party wants him? tarak laku in pkr dap pas.

teng hock nan…he can wait, he has the patiece.

the ultimate agenda of hcg is to remove thn before next GE becoz UMNO Penang cannot work with thn. umno is dipping its fingers everywhere now.

Some questions for Gerakan members and supporters to ponder :
a) Is the true opposition role that the Rakyat wanted you to play ? Just oppose for the sake of opposing ?
My take is that in the 60s and 70s, the answer is YES. But we are now in the 2010s and this meant that the society has progress and it is changed into a situation where the Rakyat want a more constructive government in waiting and not opposition. Government in waiting is able to present solution and provide the alternative choice to the Rakyat to convince them of their capabilities. Opposition role does not demonstrate this and we will end up like what we have today.

b) Have Gerakan ever stopped to ask the true question why did you lost the last round or you already have the answer. Well, if you already have the answer, I believed you will know what strategy to apply. The hardest part is to understand the root cause otherwise whatever strategy that you used will not yield results.

c) Have Gerakan gauge its chances of whether the Rakyat is willing to give them a chance again should the election being held 3 months from now ? Or will the Rakyat voted out both BN and PR but giving Penang and their 40 friends a chance to rule as TRUE Malaysians where they propel the new concept of a better Malaysia with a blue print plan on how to carry out the economy reform and also the society reform. Check with your Gerakan friend’s and you will realize the underlying feelings and reality.

d) Is your Co-Ordinator able to hold their ground against the current PR representative ?

e) I believed there are many more questions than answers for now but without the questions, your dreams of capturing Penang will only be a pipe dreams.

Firedog,
You are right of your point. but why not you think in this way, if you use the proper way of presentation/communication, you will get more audience?

Because of many politicians do not care the language they use, or rather to say that they do know what they are referring/talking, it make the politic talk such a low class dialogue all this while.

Cheers

One more thing, the coordinator are given allocation fund for his area and also a salary (a few thousand),

All this money must be contributed back to the party including the salary.!!!!

Gerakan really needs to bring the changes to the party, until now, we still do not see any obvious changes within the party.

ALL GERAKAN MEMBERs esp Commitee members, pls voice you opnion.

Gerakan divisions in Seberang Prai will be holding meetings soon to discuss their next course of action following the three-year suspension slapped on party vice-president Huan Cheng Guan.

The party’s Kepala Batas division head Jeffrey Beh said the grassroots were upset over the suspension.

“Many have called me to express their anger. Some are thinking of joining other parties in Barisan Nasional and even the Opposition,” he said here Sunday.

Beh said the three-year suspension was akin to sacking Huan from the party.

“The grassroots are shocked that the party can impose this heavy punishment on a senior leader who was elected as vice-president,” he said.

Huan said he believed his sacking was orchestrated by party adviser Tun Dr Lim Keng Yaik.

“It is no secret that he wants his son Si Pin to become the next party president. They want to finish me off because I am a threat to Si Pin.

“I won the vice-president’s post from among eight contenders even though I was not on their ‘menu’.

“They kicked out Dr Goh Cheng Teik and he left the party quietly.

“In my case, even if I leave, I will continue to speak out from outside. After all, my supporters are still inside the party,” he said.

Huan said he was suspended without being given the opportunity to defend himself.

“They don’t do this in the MCA or Umno,” he said.

He said some Gerakan leaders were good at spinning stories about him.

“But when facing the Opposition, they become headless chickens.”

Huan said members were unhappy an outsider was appointed the co-ordinator of the Machang Bubok constituency.

“The man is from Bagan. Furthermore, he is a life member of another Barisan component party.

“Everyone in Penang knows this except some Gerakan leaders. They prefer to sweep this under the carpet,” he said.

Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng, who is the former Penang Gerakan Youth vice-chairman, said the party was out to kill Huan’s political career.

“They can suspend him for a year but why three years? This is to stop him from contesting in the next general election,” he said.

Dear all,

what i comments all the while about gerakan n their leaders becomes reality n truth.

This message specially dedicated to someone so call himself “gerakan spirit”. Now he can dream with his gerakan spirit.

Few days ago i was shock to read Tony Pua’s Press statement about the allegation made by one of PR councillor about the allocation made between them 30% 40% 30% follow by RPK open gun at PR saying that it took PR 1 yr to develop what took BN 50 yrs to develop and threaten to close down the comment section if all the comments were just aim at BN and none at PR.

I think irrespective of PR or BN, human are still human. BN politians are human and so are PR politicians. I had also listen to Aminah’s CD recording. Ya, its good to know the truth.

I believe power can corrupt people fast once people possess it. I remember a story in the Bible about Moses’s rod that split the red sea. He was asked by God to hold the snake by its tail and it became a rod. The rod signified power. If he were to hold the snake by the head he would be bitten by the snake. All politicians need to learn how to hold the snake by the tail as to not abuse the power confer to them by the rakyat. But how many politician know how to handle power and not be bitten?

Its easy to criticise but to walk the talk, not many can because we have to admit it is not easy. I think the best way is still to hold to the right principle. Be a principle centered leader! I think Stephen Covey had it right.

Huan says that Gerakan leader is cold blooded. Does anyone belief that Lim Keng Yaik is behind all this???

“They are cold-blooded and will kill you politically without hesitation and without having any remorse if you were to challenge and criticise them,” said Huan, adding that he believed his suspension was a conspiracy orchestrated by the party’s former president Tun Dr Lim Keng Yaik.

Dr Lim, he said, wanted his son, Si Pin, who is now the party’s national Youth chief, to be the eventual president.

“I believe Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon will also be on the list as the next victim because of Penang Gerakan’s disastrous performance in last year’s general election.”

I am amaze that PKR has even rejected Huan’s membership before he can apply. PKR really doesn’t even appreciate his grassroot support or rather PKR thinks that he doesn’t have them. Only PKR can answer.

In all political turmoil, the leaders needs to take a hard decision for the future sake of the party. Once a decision is being made and also as long as it is being made on a fair ground basis and along the Party’s constitution, the rest will be history.

There are 2 sides impact -
a) The person leaves and the whole party is very weakened but it allows the renewal process to takes place as leaders leave, it creates a vaccuum and new leaders will emerge. It maybe a slow renewal process but it will definitely happen. If it turns out the renewal process brought about a charismatic leader, then the party will be better than it is today. If it is just a so-so leader, then the Party will be what it is today. Can no longer be any worst, I believed.

b) If the person who leaves are the baggage to their Party, more new members will join and the Party will be strengthened in a short time. Well, I am making the assumption that the new more members are all sincere and contributing members and this may be a small sacrifice but a big gain.

At the end of the day, the leaders will know best as their own members have voted them in. This is where you get what you have voted for. All of its members will need to be accountable.

Ask your state chairman how many members joined gerakan after 308????

so what is the outcome to this case ?

if Mr Tan Beng Huat is clear of any charges why those who point fingers at him never say sorry to him ?
