Printed by SWAN Printing Sdn Bhd Lot 5429, Jalan BS7/1, Kawasan Perindustrian Bukit Serdang, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor. 2 Up Close & Personal with National President Sdr Mah Siew Keong 1) After 1 year as National President of PGRM, how do you see yourself and the party? One year as the National President of PGRM, we have galvanized and reorganized the party as was promised when I contested for the seat. We have also beefed up SEDAR Institute and submitted various memorandums to ministers pertaining national issues. All bureaus were also monitored to be more active in serving the people, particularly the SME Bureau that had helped out a lot of party members and general public. One amendment I made to the Party Constitution was the limitation of presidential terms to 3 terms to extend my contribution to the party. In addition, we have also opened our membership in Gerakan Youth to females below 35, which made females below 35 having dual membership in Gerakan Youth and Gerakan Wanita. 2)You won the Teluk Intan By-Election and made a political comeback, how do you feel? Teluk Intan by-election was one of the toughest by-elections I ever fought because of my current position as the party President. Through the unity between party members and BN component parties, we managed to pull through it, which I owed my gratefulness to. I would like to thank the Prime Minister (PM) for appointing me as a Minister in the PM’s Department, which served as a challenge for me as I have to handle both my minister and Teluk Intan MP posts simultaneously. Lastly, I appreciate having worked together with all Gerakan leaders through the by-election as a team. 3) After the by-election, the members are truly Satu Hati to support you. How do you ensure the spirit remains for them to work towards the moderation always mentioned by you? Party’s ideology and vision are very important. We cannot deny that many people out there are making negative statements that are detrimental to the nation. If racism is allowed to expand, it will undermine the basis of the country as we have a multi-racial and multi-religious society. Hence, moderation and unity are what we need and Gerakan has been striving hard to ensure that the country follows the path towards 1Malaysia. This is also why our slogan for this year’s National Delegates Conference (NDC) is “Stand Up for 1Malaysia”. We must also make sure that the spirit of 1Malaysia endures after many feel that the movement has slowed down for the past one year. 4) What are your expectation for party 5) As a president, what do you think are the leaders and members to achieve under the challenges the party is currently facing? theme? I think Gerakan must stand up and be more vocal. Gerakan members are knowledgeable and united There are many problems out there affecting the under the party. We must give open support to country, so we must be a part of the solutions instead leaders who support 1Malaysia and criticize any of problems. We must come out with ideas and who tries to damage the country. Even if it comes solutions and put them into real actions. We must within BN, we must be brave to voice out and stand also focus on issues that will affect the country and behind the PM to support his call for moderation. minimize internal problems. Only through working As for the grassroots, we could mix around with together can Gerakan remain relevant and gain the people regardless of their races and religions to people respect with a great future ahead. show our commitment and ideals. 力挺一个马来西亚 3 PGRM NDC-43 PGRM NDC 2014 - Theme Launching Pelancaran Tema Persidangan Perwakilan Nasional PGRM 2014 “Menjulang 1Malaysia” etiausaha Agung Parti Gerakan “Pentadbiran negara dan haluan masa persidangan kali ini adalah mendebat Rakyat Malaysia, YB Liang Teck depan sosio-politik negara mesti dan meluluskan usul pindaan Meng mengumumkan bahawa terus kekal di haluan tengah yang Perlembagaan Parti dimana tempoh S berlandaskan kepada kesederhanaan tema Persidangan Perwakilan Nasional Presiden Nasional dan Pengerusi Negeri tahun ini ialah “Menjulang 1Malaysia”. dan keterangkuman sebagaimana dihadkan kepada 3 penggal.

Timbalan Presiden, Cheah Soon Hai berkata, sejak negara mencapai kemerdekaan 57 tahun lalu, Perlembagaan Malaysia melindungi hak asasi rakyat di negara ini seperi kebebasan beragama dan tiada diskriminasi antara kaum.
