Three Gerakan central delegates today urged party chief Koh Tsu Koon to
stand as an election candidate in his home base of Penang because it was
a matter of the party’s dignity after intense speculation that Koh will be contesting for a
parliamentary seat either in Perak, Kuala Lumpur or Johor.
Speaking
at the 40th Gerakan National Delegates Conference this afternoon, Johor
delegate Teng Koh Keng called on the party president to personally take
on Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in the parliamentary seat of
Bagan in the next general election and declared
to cheers and applause from the floor, "It would be best for our president to return to Penang and courageously
face Lim Guan Eng."He added that if Koh contested in the party's former stronghold, it will boost their morale and unify the party, saying, "Winning or losing is another matter, at least we will regain our dignity."
