TMIs Tsu Koon hits out at Utusan over Penang BN row
The upon top of essay by The Malaysian Insider tells us which Koh TK, former CM of Penang as well as stream celebration president of a once-mighty yet now-castrated Gerakan, lambasted Utusan for sneering at Gerakan as well as perfectionist which UMNO takes over a CM seat if BN wins a subsequent State election.
Utusan has not been wrong insofar as a BN side of a story goes. Indeed both Gerakan as well as MCA have turn archaic domestic species in Penang since Mar 2008, yet lately, similar to most chooks about to be once-and-for-all-times decapitated, have been making loud squawks.
Most voters know Penang's stream domestic standing quo wouldnt change most after a subsequent state election. Thus Utusan has been scold in perfectionist a CM in front of for UMNO, should a BN (meaning UMNO as well as a slim likelihood of MIC yet definitely reduction Gerakan as well as MCA) emerges as a celebration with a majority of ADUNs.
Perhaps UMNO has already targeted a little frogs to enhance such an eventuality.
Perhaps UMNO is, as a little say, preparing to get in to bed with a DAP to form a brand new ruling coalition in Penang, by stealing a embarrassing (and jealous) Gerakan as well as DAP.
Perhaps UMNO is fantasizing.
One DAP contingency never trust UMNO. Just look at bad Gerakan.
Once a mighty party, then touted (after a 1969 GE) as a subsequent ruling sovereign party, Gerakan made a mistake of fasten BN (effectively UMNO).
While a business (political, social as well as most critical of all, economic) at which time assure! d Dr Lim Chong Eu to join BN or see Penang swab similar to a dried-up rambutan upon the! limb th at a antagonistic BN supervision would expected have left it ... fair enough, a celebration unfortunately failed to assert a 1969-acquired domestic dominance in Penang, surrendering meekly to UMNO as a latter deviously as well as progressively sliced off a constituencies as allocations for a then-extinct MCA.
Side-note: Yes, MCA became an archaic species in Penang twice, in 1969 as well as 2008, yet was resurrected in Penang, predominantly to break Gerakan.
The result of UMNOs strategy post 1972 was a divided Chinese domestic bottom in Penang, when a Gerakan reduction MCA or even a combined Gerakan-MCA numbers would have overwhelmed UMNO in numbers, yet as particular as well as mutually antagonistic parties (and UMNO ensured which by a British-taught order & rule strategy), Gerakan as well as MCA made UMNO by default a biggest member in a Penang BN.
All we can contend to Koh TK is padan muka though Lim KY as well as even Dr Lim Chong Eu contingency share a blame for Gerakan's castration by UMNO a la a death of a thousand cuts.
Mind, most Penangites (including people similar to my family) should additionally be criticized for ancillary a crook in Gerakan. For years, underneath Koh TK, a UMNO DCM was a de facto CM, so a Utusan comment merely brought matters in to clearer perspective. The only reason UMNO dared not insist upon a CM's in front of outright was a fear of driving Gerakan as well as MCA in to any others' arms, a situation UMNO didn't as well as still doesn't want - remember: 'divide & rule'.
The mitigating factor in a Penangites' favour is which they woke up upon 08 Mar 2008 as they did upon 10 May 1969.
Two having pronounced that, not guileless or getting in to bed with UMNO doesnt meant which DAP cant work with a UMNO upon a practical basis, either at state o! r sovere ign level, yet this cooperation is unlikely with a diseased UMNO President-PM. But whatever, whichever, whenever, however, a DAP contingency never ever concede UMNO to persuade! it to j oin BN.
But, Im not sure what or how we can advise Koh TK to do. And should we, considering he went in to Parliament around a back doorway which he swore he wouldnt do before to a 2008 GE? we used to call him disparagingly as 'Raja B....', yet after he handed over a reins of Penang to Lim GE in a gentlemanly manner, we betrothed not to call him which again.

Last Emperor Puyi (or KTK?)
But as 'Raja', hes similar to a single of those Gothic Chinese emperors at a finish of his dynastic line, as The Last Emperor, not distinct Puyi, a final Chinese Emperor, who was a puppet underneath a Japanese, only as Koh as Penang CM had been a single underneath UMNO.
As a Penangite we strew a tear or two for a once-mighty Gerakan which somewhere between 1969 as well as 2008 lost a soul, forgetting a 'satu hati' promise to a rakyat.
