Is Gerakan an UMNO branch?


Prior to the 2008general choosing we was vicious in my criticisms of Koh Tsu Koon, calling himby the name we swore not to use opposite him again after he showed great manners, civilityand courtesy to an (then) incoming Lim Guan Eng as the new CM. Ah Koon demonstratedhimself as the perfect lady in the art of Westminster politics. He has indicated he won't be with us in the subsequent GE.

However, we amnot sad to see him go since as the BN male he is unequivocally not suited for Malaysianpolitics where we need to be as ruthless, vicious as well as deceit as er the single ofthose BN leaders (present, past as well as former, wakakaka). Ah Koon is your typical nice as well as respectful Penang child but he lacks the necessary self-confidence, assertiveness as well as incisiveness to be the strong domestic leader.

But what I'msad to see is the stability demeaning as well as humiliation of the Gerakan Party by UMNO. we read inThe Malaysian Insider's Najib eventually names Chang Yeow as Penang BN chiefthe following:

Koh,who not long ago renewed his term as the senator, had voiced which he will not takepart in coming ubiquitous choosing after BN-linked media spoke about the need forchanges in the multi-racial party. It is accepted which the perspective in Putrajayais th! during the m ild-mannered Gerakan arch should step down as head of the BNcomponent party before the ubiquitous choosing if the coalition is to have anychance of wresting back Penang from PR.

I disbelief it was the view in Putrajayabut rsthe! r than a n order, definition from UMNO.

While it is theultimately the right of the BN Chairperson to confirm upon as well as name the BN's Penang chief, it isnot the BN Chairperson's business to 'suggest' (order lah) the Gerakan Party presidentialincumbent should step down, even if the reason is to provide the BN abetter awaiting of winning the subsequent state as well as ubiquitous elections in Penang.

It contingency be theGerakan Party itself, as well as not outsiders, which competence confirm whether the boss should step down. In other words, which should have been the Gerakan Party's inner issue.

But the member parties in the BN have turn so subservient toUMNO which it proves my indicate (which we had blogged upon previously), they aremerely non-Malay 'branches' of UMNO.

In the previous poston 11 Oct 2010 titled MCA - brave to say, brave to do?I wrote:

I take this event to alsoadvise the MCA as well as in truth the Gerakan as well as MIC to bear in thoughts which the BarisanNasional is the coalition as well as not UMNO with multiform non-Malay affiliates orbranches. Therefore MCA (and Gerakan as well as MIC each) should mount up as asovereign celebration which is the full partner in the coalition or alliance. Don't behavelike the subordinate branch of UMNO.

What does this entail then?

While the BN as the celebration should ofcourse, as distant as probable verbalise ou! t togeth er upon policy issues, the operativeterm should be 'as distant as possible', definition there competence be times the MCA shouldbe able, as well as in truth brave to verbalise out differently upon an emanate of interest tothe community or subdivision it represents.

When there is an ubiquitous or stateelection pending, the seats should be allocated not just as per the coalitionformula BUT by meaningful negotiations between the parties. In other words,there is no such thing as the BN chairperson (meaning UMNO) dispensing seatsout like Father Yuletide as well as MCA as well as Gerakan gripping mum.

Also as well as really importantly, theselection of possibilities to seats reserved to MCA shall be usually during t! hediscre tion of the MCA leadership as well as should never ever be subordinated toapproval by the BN chairperson (eg. Hulu Selangor where the MIC boss washumiliated as being no some-more than the small UMNO branch leader).

It's an insult which MCA candidateshave to be authorized by an UMNO man.

Take our stream e.g. beingdiscussed let's hypothetically assume which Ah Koon is unaware of his weakleadership, becomes disinclined during being told to step down as well as refuses to doso, afterwards that's wholly for the Gerakan Party to deal with it,for the celebration members to decide,if they believe Ah Koon should go. It is certainly not for UMNO as well as Najib to decide, where they should keep their full of blood nose out.

Of course afterwards it can be Najib's prerogativeas the BN Chairperson to name an additional person to be the Penang BN Chair, as well as it he/she is not from Gerakan, so be it.

The i ndicate is Gerakan is notan UMNO branch for Najib to confirm who should be the celebration president, since for him todo so would be the idealisation insult to the Gerakan Party. It is even worse than the BNChairperson, effective an UMNO man, commendatory the preference of member partycandidates (say Gerakan Party candidates) to seats reserved as the share of which componentparty (Gerakan).

But Najib as well as his predecessors h! avebeen means to do which during will since those non-UMNO member parties have been willingcaptives, even to the gravest insult to their respective celebration government (ortotal miss of). Thus, they have usually themselves to censure for their cringing serf-likementality.

The the single thing great about someJapanese is their clarity of, as well as commitment to, honour as well as their willingness to demonstratethat commitment in the idealisation form, seppuku.


But we disbelief such the suspicion wouldeven come in the heads of those Gerakan leaders - distinct Dr Lim Chong Eu who left Perikatan (BN'spredecessor) as well as even MCA since he refused to determine with Tunku's allocationofseats for MCA.


For the begin those Gerakan leaders competence not evenrecognize the insult to their Party's government as well as dignity, having been conditionedfor the final 40 years to accept such abysmal servitude from TaiKoh.


And i f theydo recognize it, they will keep mum, s! wallow t successor pride as well as accept which insult as, we suppose, quid pro quo for their party's stability (and lucrative) membershipofBN. They have been viewed to be no longer with any clarity of basic honour.

Cheen chnea kian seiow full of blood malulah!

Alas, as the member of the family whichused to adore, as well as was 'Satu Hati' with Dr Lim Chong Eu's Gerakan Party, we haveto whine as well as wince as those Gerakan members play lapdog to UMNO,yapping happily when they have been handed some small bits or receive the pat upon theheads.
