The Malaysian People's Movement Party or the Gerakan is one of the political and component parties of the Barisan Nasional coalition, the ruling party of Malaysia. It was formed in 1968 and is currently led by Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, the former Penang Chief Minister. He is the current Acting President after the former president Datuk Dr Lim Keng Yaik resigned from his post in 1997. Unlike the other component parties which are more ethnic-based, Gerakan is a more multi racial party although it is predominantly consisted of Chinese who makes up 80% of the membership, while 15% are made up of Indians and the other races total up the rest. Gerakan, who once had a stronghold in certain states like Penang suffered one of their worst defeats in the past elections where they only garnered 2 seats as compared to 10 in the election before that. After the disappointing campaign, Gerakan is set to re-position itself to regain the people's confidence and to re-launch themselves into the political arena. The party identified 3 areas in which are subjected into 3 different thrusts that will help them with these efforts. They are to voice Gerakan's ideology, policy position and advocate Malaysian solutions for various major issues, to rebuild, rebrand and re-empower the party at all levels, and to regain people's confidence. Coupled with the slogan ‘Forward together with One Heart', which was envisioned after a party wide brainstorming and discussion throughout the country, they will embark on 8 main strategies which are: 1) To formulate and voice principled policy positions and solutions for major national issues; 2) To be constructive opposition in Pakatan Raykat-led states; 3) To pursue reforms of Barisan Nasional (BN) as an effective multi-racial coalition; 4) To effectively rebuild and revitalise the party, to forge smart partnership with society and NGOs; 5) To embark on membership expansion and consolidation; 6) To boost and train more leaders; 7) To re-energise and revamp the party at all levels; 8) To further improve communication and public relations strategies.

Gerakan is a sinking ship. Lee Kah Choon, Tan Chee Kong and many other have quit for greener pasture. More will follow suit following the exposure by the PR led State Government on the land scandal and other improprieties committed by the previous Government. What had Koh Tzu Koon and his Government done for the ordinary folk of Penang? At least the current PR led Government implements policies with sufficient transparency and accountability.

I am a sincere rakyat of Penang and I don't feel that this is a sinking ship. I do not agree with you. We should see the whole picture not just some. Yes, I can see that Lee Kah Choo and the rest had left. They are crazy power people. You tell me who gave them power, fame, title and etc. Is it PR led Government. Those who stay on are HERO and sincere toward the party even at this moment is quiet. Good or bad, Who knows !!! Just wait and see........... PR led Government just kow how to talk. It must be Action speak louder than talking...... With like present govt. going on in no time we can see rakyat sleeping on roadside and many more factories closing down. During Tan Sri time have you heard people have no work "NO" but people choosing whether to work or not. Now nobody dare to choose.

You all may scold Gerakan but think before shooting as without the previous Govt, do you think most people life in confort not Malys alone but even other races. The most important is that we must stand unite. The next time when we vote, we must vote for people not parti as if you have lousy people things can't work. Please ask around what did the Pakatan govt do for us for the past few months............. Do you think we are going to survive. Bare in mind, factories are closing down, where are all rakyat going to survive. This is what "RAKYAT" want change of govt. so please face it. If PKR still fighting to take over for the next few month, we can see that investors will just wait and see, then no investors will invest who die !!!! Think

The systemic rot began long ago. Foreign investors came for their own selfish reasons. Why can't Malaysia progress beyond from being a rent seeking landlord to a master of her own destiny?

Own education system is a joke....flip-flopping every few years. Uncompetitive due to non-meritocracy policies...most of our brightest students deprived on account of their race. A regional party like Gerakan does not have the weight to make any difference in this globalized world economy. Gerakan is irrelevant and should be put to sleep before further humiliation. report abuse

Eksklusif: Bongkar, Dosa Najib Razak Semasa Menjawat Jawatan Menteri Besar Pahang !!
Votes: +0
Dikatakan semasa jadi Menteri Besar Pahang beliau bersahabat baik dengan seorang ahli perniagaan muda dari Pekan sehingga boleh duduk sekereta resmi dan selalu berulang alik ke Singapura memburu perempuan. Ahli perniaan ini sentiasa mendapat kawasan balak dan sentiasa mendapat maklumat di atas segala keputusan EXCO bersabit dengan perkara-perkara untuk mencari rezeki dari Kerajaan Negeri. Sekarang ini beliau telah kaya raya. Apa betulkah atau hanya satu fitnah? Dalam tahun-tahun 84-85 Datuk Najib juga dikatakan pernah dijumpai di Singapura di tempat-tempat yang sulit bersama-sama seorang datuk bekas orang kuat Promet dengan artis-artis perempuan. Katanya membincangkan hal-hal pembangunan Wilayah Janda Baik, Bentong. Dari laporan yang dipercayai satu raket korupsi di belakang pembangunan Wilayah Janda Baik, Bentong telah berlaku. Cuba siasat siapakah orang-orang yang banyak memiliki tanah-tanah di Janda Baik. Kononnya beliau juga dikatakan dalam tahun-tahun 84-85 telah mengadakan banyak perhubungan sulit (seks) dengan seorang kerabat diraja salah sebuah negeri di Semenanjung. Datuk Najib dikatakan pernah pergi ke rumah Tengku itu pada waktu malam dihantar oleh salah seorang bekas Setiausaha Sulitnya yang dibawa dari Kuala Lumpur. Perkara ini bukan rahsia lagi bagi penduduk Kuantan, tidak dihebohkan kerana melibatkan keluarga raja. Kononnya cerita ini diceritakan sendiri oleh orang istana yang paling hampir dengan Tengku itu. Jika ini betul ia tidak patut berlaku atau dilakukan oleh seorang pemimpin yang menjadi ketua pemerintah negeri dan melibatkan pula kerabat di Raja. Inilah dikatakan orang harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi. Apa dihairankan, kebuasan nafsu Najib memang amat diketahui sejak belum menjadi Menteri Besar lagi. Hubungan sulit dengan perempuan-perempuan dari segala bangsa dan artis-artis tempatan adalah cakapan harian orang di Kuala Lumpur. Dikatakan orang juga, amalan “corruption†(rasuah) sangat hebat berlaku semasa Encik Hamid menjadi P.A. Datuk Najib. Semasa Encik Hamid berhenti, satu sijil ‘fixed deposit’ sebanyak $500,000.00 telah dijumpai oleh isteri Encik Hamid yang sekarang sudah dicerai. Fixed deposit itu dijumpai dalam beg “james bond†Encik Hamid. Ini kalau kita fikir adakah wang Encik Hamid atau wang Datuk Najib. Encik Hamid pernah berkata, Datuk Najib tak pernah menukar ceknya untuk berbelanja di rumah atau lain-lainnya, kerana cash (wang tunai) banyak terlonggok di rumahnya. Encik Hamid pernah berkata yang hal dan rahsia Datuk Najib semua dalam poketnya. Ini mungkin fitnah orang yang iri hati pada Encik Hamid kerana dia sangat dipercayai oleh Najib. Sabarlah… Datuk Najib sentiasa menggunakan ketua-ketua pejabat dan agensi-agensi Kerajaan (berkanun) untuk mendapatkan wang. Alasan kononnya untuk ‘political fund’, seperti LKNP, LKPP, ASPA dan Syarikat Permodalan Pahang. Kegiatan-kegiatan agensi tersebut perlu disiasat, terutama LKPP atas hal jual dan beli ladang dan kilang-kilang. Bekas Pengurus Besar Syarikat Permodalan Pahang, yang sebelum itu hanya seorang guru biasa lulusan maktab, rumahnya macam istana, selalu berulang-alik ke Jakarta dan luar negeri bersama seorang pembantu wanitanya, kononnya isteri orang. Hubungan mereka berdua dikatakan sangat rapat. Kerja-kerja beliau dikatakan sentiasa mendapat restu dari Datuk Najib. Maklumlah mereka berdua ni dalam perahu yang sama. Apa sudah jadi dengan syarikat itu sekarang? Beratus juta duit rakyat Pahang lesap Syarikat terpaksa ditutup kerana bankrap. Bossnya senang lenang. Najib patut bertanggungjawab. Kononnya di Kuala Lumpur sentiasa mengadakan parti-parti sulit, mabok dengan perempuan-perempuan artis yang selalu ada bersama boss Promet itu dan yang ada hubungan perniagaan rapat dengan seorang peniaga Cina bersama Andrew Leong dari Syarikat Johan Holding. Datuk Najib juga dikatakan kononnya telah bersekedudukan dengan seorang yang berasal dari Kementeian Kewangan yapng mana ada hubungan dengan kontrek pembelian computer yang berharga di antara 3-4 juta ringgit semasa beliau berkhidmat di Kementerian Kewangan sebagai Timbalan Menteri. Encik Hamid bekas PA nya itu adalah salah seorang orang suruhan Datuk Najib untuk mengutip wang-wang korupsi di sana sini, maka itulah Datuk Najib membawa Hamid dari Kementerian Kewangan yang berasal dari seorang Kerani sahaja ke Kuantan. Encik Hamid dikatakan banyak menyimpan rahsia Datuk Najib dan tahu banyak tentang projek-projek yang Najib ada berkepentingan. Artikel ini dipetik dari blog sahabat matsamankati. Sebenarnya semasa Najib jadi MB Pahang itulah juga dipercayai Rosmah Mansor mula masuk jarum untuk memancing anak Tun Razak itu. Ikuti pendedahan seterusnya bagaimana Rosmah boleh memperdayakan Najib hingga beliau sanggup memisahkan isterinya untuk membeli Rosmah dengan harga jutaan ringgit. Apakah rahsia disebalik perkara ini. Ternyata, langkah Rosmah menjadi orang nombor satu sudah bermula sejak Najib bergelar MB Pahang lagi. Najib juga dikatakan tidak sempat menamatkan pengajiannya di England, dan dalam usia muda beliau telah dipanggil balik ke Pahang untuk menjadi Menteri Besar ketika itu report abuse
