Gerakan leaders plan boycott over Huan sacking
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Several Gerakan division leaders, who attended a gathering in support of suspended vice-president Huan Cheng Guan, want to boycott party activities if Huan’s three-year suspension is not revoked.
The leaders, who spoke at the gathering attended by about 2,000 supporters of Huan in Machang Bubok Thursday night, said they would stay away from all activities during the suspension period.
Kepala Batas Gerakan division chairman Jeffery Beh said the gathering was held to send a strong message to the central working committee (CWC) that they were solidly behind Huan.
Others who attended the gathering were Gerakan Bukit Mertajam division chairman Datuk Tan Kim Seah, Permatang Pauh division chairman Tan Tee Pin, Tasek Gelugor division chairman Datuk Ooi Bee Huat, Gerakan national deputy youth chairman On Tong Keong, who is state youth chief, and Tasek Glugor division chairman Datuk Ooi Bee Huat.
More than 1,000 people signed a signature campaign to ask the CWC to revoke the suspension immediately.
Batu Kawan division youth vice-chairman Ung Teow Hong called upon the CWC to shorten the suspension period.
Huan said he would send a letter to party president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon and all CWC members to clarify the circumstances that led to his suspension.
“Gerakan has always said it advocated transparency and democracy but they do not practise what they preach as they did not give me an opportunity to tell my side of the story.
“When other leaders speak up to tell the truth in the party, nothing happens to them but when I open my mouth they suspend me,” he said.
