Just to share...

Hi 愚公移山, if you're a member or leader in Gerakan, sorry I don't agree with your comments. Being a Gerakan member or leader, how do you handle the attack or cyber-war and protect your party??? Be SILENT and LISTEN? Just like what Gerakan has been in practice for almost 40 years?

If you're a member or leader in Gerakan, please Stand up and Speak up... let's see you're dare to protect your party, even when the inroad comes from a friend of yours. Please correct their mindset! Not always be SILENT and LISTEN to comments from others!

During the recent General Election, members of Gerakan "listened" to all kind of comments from the public, being almost silent! So what happened? Total Lost in Penang! Members of other political parties, especially DAP, PKR & PAS are also the ones who have the right to vote Gerakan... Do you listen to their comments?

Silent Politic is no longer useful, or it should not be useful, anyway!

Please correct the mindset of the public and protect your party, by all means. Of course, NVM & Sorry if you're not a member or leader in Gerakan!

Dear 青天白月, yours noted.

Please don't treat that as an "attack" but a "defend" instead.

After the failure of Gerakan in the recent general election, the members have been quite "sensitive in terms of unity" as we cannot afford to fail again, in the next general election.

Like what Dato' Seri Lim Keng Yaik mentioned at the AEC of Astro yesterday that Gerakan should not have lost entirely at the recent general election. But, it's the fact that people hate BN more than loving Gerakan, even though Gerakan has been doing their best in the general public, not in the whole of Malaysia but at least Penang.

He added, the failure was mostly attributed to the "silent-momentum" of Gerakan in the past years. So, do you expect the members to be silent again? Of course, it's NOT supposed to shout for the sake of shouting. But, members are encouraged to make right any wrong perception of others.

It's always good to defend the party, if something pop-ups (esp. negative comments). If we don't defend, then when do you think the best time to safeguard the party?

We start learning to be more defensive, not only for the party but for the whole community.

You may be classified as an ordinary people, but me too. No one is so special in the society! But, I can see that you're very concerned over the political situation in Malaysia. As such, you may consider enrol to the family of Gerakan and let's work together for the benefit of all our friends - Malaysians!

I'm a member of Gerakan but I'm NOT paid to be a member. It's NOT necessary for me to defend Gerakan, but I have my responsibility being a member. Of course, I'm NOT dare to turn-around the situation for Gerakan, but at least I can defend the party on occasions especially on the internet. Unlike others, I choose not to be a nice man on some occasions like this. Otherwise, NO point for me to be part of the party.

Similarly, someone attacks your family member whether directly or indirectly, do you keep silent and collect the comments for your future improvement or you would try to defend your family member too?

Sorry for the unnecessary virtual comment, that hurts you. But, I hope you would understand the feeling of others too.Thank you.

Hi 愚公移山, you may be right! the group of opponents gain the most respect. This is due to their ways of approach, including the use of cyber-war. We should learn from these strategies. So, we should learn the art and science of cyber-war, of course defending the group is a basic requirement.

Yes, you might had stood and spoken during the GE, but was it laud enough? or only to a small group of hundreds or to 40k-50k of Malaysians in presence, like DAP/PKR ones? So, Notwithstanding! We're to learn from the lesson, How to gather a group of 40k-50k to listen to us? Then, our "voice" is therefore valid and effective. Please don't think that work is done, the final result is more important! You see the power of blogging of Jeff Ooi, he defends and attacks via internet! But, he would NOT attack his own group and claim that's the way of improvement?!

Jeff ooi never ask the supporters to open their eyes and ears bigger before they're able to notice? Nothwithstanding, please evaluate or form an idea of level of your voice? If you claim that you have done so?

Yes, you're right "忠言逆耳。 聽不聽由不得我！" But, do you have a good mirror?

Ok, let's stop here, we have much more to do for the benefit of Gerakan. Importantly, protect your party and your members, even on the internet, please.

Stand Up Speak Up, with a higher in volume!

Thank you.
