After a few months of "sai nai" and "merajuk" to its big brother UMNO, KTK back to its '3 legs' shows again. He anoounced that Gerakan will remain as BN components without any official debate. The new official President said that the "emotional reaction" by its 60% of members that originally intend to leave BN had been cooled down. Subsequently he called the outgoing PM as "Father of Democracy", forgetting that his picture was just torn by one the members not long ago and until now, no apology is made.
Gerakan will of course made their own call to determine their future. However, if Gerakan intention is to regain power in Penang, I am of opinion they face more obstacles as compared of they contest by their own.
1) It will be a difficult dream for Gerakan to gain back CM of Penang even if BN won Penang in the next election. Besides Pakatan Rakyat and the penang people, do you think UMNO and especially MCA will let the CM post to fly away again.
2) Do you think Gerakan will be given the most numbers of seats again in the next election, looking at they lost all in 2008.
3) If Gerakan sincerely want to stand up where it fell down, they can only depend on themselves to work hard and alone as they did in 1969. In case they gain sufficient influential supports again in the next election, then they will have more negotiation power.
I would think that KTK could forget about to reform the coalition and as for "Father of Democracy", I would agreed with Khoo Kay Peng that he is more an accidental agent of change.
