Perak Gerakan wants party to quit BN



The spirit of the founding fathers of Malaysia must be heeded and understood by all Malaysian especially the politicians in power and otherwise.

Whoever leads Malaysia; they must appreciate and understand what has sustained this multi-racial country when it could have easily been destroyed.

Although Gerakan is considered the 4th largest party in BN but it governed the Island since 1969 prior to losing Penang at the March 8, 2008. The temporarily set back should be addressed positively and not otherwise.

Politically, the current Gerakan leaders ought to do the necessary to keep the party relevant to the people instead of pulling out from BN which is coalition for more than 30 years.

Ironically, the major races in Malaysia formed their political parties respectively as coalition and using racial and religious issues to garner support from their own race which became the characteristic norm of Malaysian politics.

The Perak Gerakan contemplating calling for the party to pull out from Barisan Nasional is by far for its own political mileage. By addressing that Gerakan is just playing a minor role in BN after the lost of the Penang state Government, there is nothing much left for Gerakan to stay on in BN is thus unjustified.

The suggestion by Tan Lian Hoe that the party should pull out from BN due to Umno's unabated and unabashed racial politics that had hurt the sentiments of non-Malays and non-Muslims is politically unjustified too.

As the Deputy Information Minister, MP for Gerik, and Gerakan Vice-President and Women’s Chief, she should be the last to voice out any suggestion publicly.

The suggestion is deem to put BN state chairperson Gerakan leader Dr Koh Tsu Koon in an embarrassing situation as currently he is heading the BN by-election machinery in Permatang Pauh.

Gerakan national women leader and Vice-president Tan Lian Hoe suggested that the party should pull out from BN due to Umno's unabated and unabashed racial politics that had hurt the sentiments of non-Malays and non-Muslims.

Speaking at the party's Perak annual delegates' conference in Ipoh today, she hammered Umno for not learning from the harsh lessons meted out by voters in the last March general election.

"Umno continues to play racial issues without being bothered about the feelings of others.

"The party leaders seem yet to comprehend that racial politics no longer have a place in our multiracial society.

"Malaysians have rejected it in the last general election," the deputy information minister told the delegates this morning.

Gerakan is a mosquito party that can't do anything much. If Gerakan pull out from BN, BN still in power, why worry? What is so great about Gerakan only win 2 parliament seats?
