Gerakan secretary-general Chia Kwang Chye has some “friendly advice” for party stalwart Toh Kin Woon (pic): Don’t attend anymore events organised by PKR. This was reported in the Kwong Wah Chinese-language newspaper today.
Kin Woon was among the crowd of between 10,000 and 20,000 at Anwar’s ceramah in Permatang Pauh on Saturday night (9 Aug).
When asked whether any further action would be taken against Kin Woon, Kwang Chye said no, but he hoped that Kin Woon would not take part in any further events organised by the PKR.
A former state executive councillor in the previous Barisan Nasional-led Penang state government, Kin Woon is widely respected for his progressive, independent views. He did not defend his Penang state assembly seat of Machang Bubok in the 8 March general election, indicating his desire to step down from active politics.
He is now chairman of the Penang-based Socio-Economic and Environmental Research Institute.
look like he is considering joining PR..

Ya and a note on the UiTM protest … all I have to say as a non-Malay is please look at yourself in the mirror lar… why need to even bother to protest. Even you open your university door wide also no … non-malay in their right minds will tick your university in the application form to go in.
I had a brother in law working in a MNC, he said after interviewing a couple of your UiTM graduates, he concluded they are … USELESS one. So as you can see, no … company also want to hire your graduates, you think non-malay want to actually bother themselves to apply. I think better go to private college has a better chance of getting employed.
The only place where employment exist for your racist university is in the Government Dept.
So please lar before you guys think how great your university is or the last bastion of malay education … tengok dulu lar kat cermin tu … apa jenis kualiti yang masuk dan jenis kualiti yang keluar…

Dr. Toh in PRK will help consolidate the multi-racial direction of PKR. This in itself would be a great contribution to Malaysian democracy.
Dr. Toh can also strengthen the outspoken moderation of Dr. Syed Husin Ali.
These two considerations should outweigh any personal considerations.

I can’t help but wonder if Chia’s “friendly advice” hides a grudge regarding Dr. Toh’s support of the book that embarrassed the Chia brothers:

Friendly advice to Kwang Chye, stop issuing unsolicited advise, no matter how friendly it is supposed to be. Pay attention on how to salvage Gerakan and give Gerakan some life purpose for the few more years it has before it is being wiped out. Better still, pull Gerakan out from BN and you will realise there is actually life after BN.

Dr Toh KW a principled BN politician?
How many of you know this guy personally?
He is principled because he attends PKR functions?
He attended Anwar’s open house just before Anwar was arrested years ago.
Politicians are all alike. They jump here and there when things are no longer favourable to them in their own party.
Do you see democrats crossing over to the republicans or the labour party politician going over to join the conservatives?
This is because in Malaysia the politicians here have no ideological commitment and can change their stripes whenever the need and opportunity arise.
There is also another well known politician in Penang who quit Gerakan to join MCA and then quit MCA to join PKR, all because he was not fielded as a candidate in the general election by MCA.
So what does that say about BN politician going over to PKR?
