Lim Guan Eng or Teng Hock Nam?

What is this about? Still talked about Islamic State and Hudud Law? (Penang Gerakan Chief asked his members to made a choice between 1 Malaysia and Islamic State during the recent party assembly)
I thought this tactic had been used in 1999 and made Gerakan won big in that election.
I thought this tactic had been useless in 2008 and made Gerakan lost big in that election.
The Gerakan leaders really did not know or did not want to know why they lost big in the last election. Penang people had made the choice. They had chosen the DAP CAT, but they also hope that the Gerakan could do a good CAT WATCH, and if the cat is not good, then we could replace the cat in the next election.
Gerakan seemed like can not grow (my friend said this when he forward me this photo). They really need to "Gerakanlah Gerakan".
When Dr Teng asked:"1 Malaysia or Islamic State?".
Penang kia will be more interested to ask:" Lim Guan Eng or Teng Hock Nam?"

Like This also called "Father of Democracy"

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.
