Kah Choon has made a people's choice. It is more important to serve the rakyat than to serve the party. The party is only a 'mean', the rakyat is the 'end'. Leaders must learn to serve the 'end' not the 'means'.

That's a wise move, Kah Choon. BN and its component parties are INTROVERTS! They don't care for the rakyat, do they? PR would not offer you this high level position if they think you are unqualified. Well, you were head-hunted and obviously YOU ARE QUALIFIED! Go, man, get things moving. Make Penang robust and make Malaysians Proud!! Congrats, Lee. All the very best to you.

Idiots of Gerakan, you deserve your fate.

If you had just kept quite, all in name of bipartisanship, the lot of you would come out smelling like roses BUT instead, you sound off(more like bark) like your UMNO masters would and in due course Gerakan as an entity also can also go bye bye just like UMNO.

Yes, you made the right choice of serving the rakyat first, and you should earn our Penangite RESPECT and SALUTE.

I hope that Gerakan supporter should support you in your immediate task and not hinder you.

Wish that those gerakan support realise what is their objective before they joint politics, for the betterment of Penang Rakyat. but not to create bads issue to penang. if the Gerakan could not help Penang Rakyat, then what is the point of staying in GERAKAN? Right? Move to Others party as long as The party could help penang regain previous Glory of PENANG.

Please help penang to attract investor in Manufacturing sector, Financial Sector, Entertainment sector and Tourism Sector.
Thanks.
I am Malaysian so are you.

Gerakan's loss, Kah Choon, not the other way round. One of the main reasons you lost was KTK, and his ego is not allowing him to wake up to this fact. People think KTK was gracious in how he handled BN's loss of Penang...? you should ask around what really happened that night. I assure you the gracious way in which he conceeded Penang was not his idea. Proof is that now he is avoiding LGE's calls.

LKC, if it is confirmed ... then leaving Gerakan is a wise choice.

The future generation (at least the Penangites) will remember you as among the smarter ones who chose to serve the rakyat first rather than serving umno.

The rest of Gerakan people should seriously start thinking hard and decide whether you want people to remember you as a leader or a crooked politician ... or worse, a dumb umno ball carrier.

The choice is yours.

Another sad episode in Malaysia. People just can't understand the principles of governance. It is a loss to GERAKAN. GERAKAN was given an opportunity to reinvent themself in the Malaysian political aerena, but it has been wasted. I hope people in PENENG take this as a lesson. GERAKAN is not there for the people, but only for personal interest. GERAKAN will only serve if they are in power, otherwise they wouldn't care about the people. It clearly shows that GERAKAN has no interest about the people in PENANG. Now that we know, its about time GERAKAN is rejected completely. Let it be the end of GERAKAN. Reject GERAKAN completely. REJECT GERAKAN!!!!REJECT GERAKAN!!!!REJECT GERAKAN!!!!

Bravos to you Mr.Lee Kah Choon. While you yourself may not really understand on the significance of your move, the truth is you have created an important milestone in Malaysian politics.What is unimportant event to many political watchers/insiders in Malaysia, this event is in fact the beginning of a new reformative maturity in Malaysian politics. I am sure, the manner you did it will be a talking point for some time, but the crux of the matter is I have absolute confident that many would follow your footsteps. Do not be surprised that the party you discarded will learn and adopt this in due course of time once they establish the merit of your actions viz-a-viz the overall objectives and true role of politicians.

Practical and wise move for Lee.
Bn is not interested to develop Penang , as Penang is under the PR administration.This can translate as Bn sabotaging Penang.
Not just Penang , but all the other 4 states plus KL.
Politics is NOT about the sake of politicking.Such narrow politicians we can throws them away.
PR welcomes any person who can bring development to any of the 5 Pakatan states , but will be base on capabilities.

he is wise with this decision . He initially resigned from all party posts and only keep his ordinary membership .

Kah Choon is just an opportunist and a person who takes advantage of any circumstance which will help him personally. He will do the same to Parkatan if it losses the election the next round by jumping back to BN as though nothing happen.. Kah Choon cannot be trusted one bit.

You to see him during the thick of Gerakan's rule and he was such a snob. Wonder why Keng Yaik was all for him to take over from Ksu Koon?

With no disrespect, i strongly believe there is a flaw in your hypothesis on Mr Lee. If he is a person who is 'gila kuasa' and an opportunist, he would have held on to his post as Sec. Gen. of Gerakan and then went on to accept the current post. His heart is to serve the rakyat, that is what all other politicians should emulate. Not serve own pocket.

LGE sees him as a capable man, thus. offering him a post (even when he is no longer a Sec. Gen. of the opposing party, thus there is no 'fishing' on DAP part).

Mr. Lee, accepting the post as an ordinary member, had actually given Gerakan a chance to leave BN and stand up for the rakyat. Call it an acid test, if you want to. However, Gerakan chooses to heed the orders of their big brother (or should I say Master, here) instead of using their own head to think what is right and best for the party. Thus, I would believe, this would mark an end of Gerakan as a political party.

Why should the members not leave and abandon ship now that their party, which was given a 2nd chance, fumbled in making the right decision? and if one were to ask, 'What is the right decision?' The answer is obviously, 'To serve the rakyat'. Enough said... May Gerakan now rest in peace.
