Gerakan Awakening

Finally, we heard a real Gerakan voice surface from under the table, wanting the party considering to pull out from the Barisan, claiming that its top leader party, UMNO chief - are only interested in one particular community. On the same day, one of our most respect politician, the former state exco-member of Penang, Dr Toh Kin Woon, step into PKR Action Office at Gagasama Garden and declared support of Anwar Ibrahim for his effort towards political revolution in the country. Dr Toh is one of the most senior, experience and reputable Gerakan member in Penang. Dato Tan Lian Hoe, current Deputy Information Minister, also the Wanita Chief of Gerakan, announced today in the Perak Gerakan assembly, the party should consider of pulling out from the BN coalition in view of its continual policies of racial characters.

Gerakan all of the sudden awake and recall their original ideology since its founding in 1968, a non-racial and non-religious approach.

They are in dilemma again recently when they have an different standings with their component chief, UMNO in the issues of Bar Council Forum and Proposal to open UiTM quota to non-ethnic group.
