"PPP should discuss [this issue] in the BN autarchic council [instead of going to the media]," Gerakan Perak chief, Chang Ko Youn, told FMT when contacted.
"The chair allocation agreement is already settled. We have worked tough for the past 4 years in Taiping as well as you have been not going to give up this chair [to PPP]."
"We had the one-off agreement for 2004 [for PPP to contest] as well as the chair was supposed to be returned to us in 2008. Howeve! r, BN ma de the blunder as well as gave the chair again to PPP in 2008," pronounced Chang who is additionally celebration emissary president.
The BN compensated Gerakan for the loss of the Taiping chair with the Bukit Gantang parliamentary constituency in 2004 as well as gave the celebration the Grik parliamentary chair in 2008. Both the "compensated" seats were originally allocated to Umno.
Now Umno wants to competition their normal chair of Grik in the arriving ubiquitous choosing as well as Gerakan wants Taiping back.

Meanwhile, PPP inhabitant report arch A Chandrakumanan pronounced in the press matter which the failure of Gerakan president Koh Tsu Koon to reply to PPP's gesture of surrendering the chair after the 2008 polls was the reason for the squabble.
"In the suggestion of BN, Koh should have responded to PPP rught away when the Taiping chair was surrendered to Gerakan some 4 years ago. Instead, Koh decided to keep silent as well as ignored the good gesture [of replacing the Taiping chair with an additional seat]," Chandrakumanan said.
"So Chang should right away bellow during Koh as well as not during PPP," he added.
He pronounced Gerakan's silence upon the matter resulted in the PPP staking the claim for the seat.
"We were forced to submit Taiping as the chair in the requisition letter to BN se! cretary- general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor because of Gerakan 's silence as well as uncooperative attitude.
"As far as PPP is concerned, you have referred to returning this chair to Gerakan rught away after the 2008 ubiquitous choosing as Gerakan had sabotaged (Kayveas' chances of winning) in an attempt to get behind the seat," he alleged.
PPP claimed which in 2004, Gerakan had dual seats as replacement for Taiping. They were the Simpang Rengam (Johor) as well as Bukit Gantang (Perak) parliamentary seats, as well as later reduced to the Grik chair in 2008.
Chandrakumanan pronounced Chang should ask for clarification from Koh upon the matter instead of aiming his guns during PPP.
