Mr. Huan Cheng Guan, someone I have not known personally hit back at me at a very personal way. That has lost my last little respect of him in political professionalism. Today NST quoted Huan: He (Sim) was still playing marbles when I joined politics.
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Tuesday/National/2589399/Article/index_html
Yes, Mr. Huan, your are right, I was playing marbles when you started your career. But, you lost to our generation of young leaders in GE12 because of your arrogance.
He is at this low point of his political career out of his own doing. Let me first recount his statements:
On May 29, he was quoted in NST as saying “I am 99 percent sure of leaving (Gerakan).”
On June 4th, The Star published “Gerakan Veep said to be planning to join PKR”.
On June 14th, NST “Huan Cheng Guan Remains in Gerakan”.
Today in MI, he said “I Still Love BN”
From the first few days of gung-ho to now fizzling out, from 99 percent sure to now still loves BN, we can see a growing trend among BN rejects who adopted an approach best described in Chinese: 一哭，二闹，三求饶. (First cry foul, Secondly Outburst, Finally Pleading.)
I must clarify that I have no problem with anyone joining PKR based on principle of justice, democracy and fighting for the poor. I am agreeable to Yusmadi and Datuk Zahrain’s argument on the principle of “Freedom of Association”. The sad thing is that, while we are standing firm on our core beliefs, our opponents are taking advantage of our stand.
We had these instances of Datuk Arif Shah and Chuah Soi Lek using the similar tactics of using PKR to bargain for better deals in their respective party. Now Huan Cheng Guan is again using this similar tactics. And what is Huan fighting for? Just a BN coordinator in Machang Bubok for his crony! That really infuriates me.
Of course, there are no shortage of good ex-BN men and women who joined PKR based on our fundamental beliefs of multracial politics, principles of justice and fight corruption. Datuk Zaid Ibrahim is a stelar example of these men and women, as well as Datuk Tan Yee Kiew and Dr. Tan Kee Kwong. I welcome them with open arms! We need more people like Dato Zaid and all. They bring in values, expertise, administrative experience and more importantly good principles to help the party grow.
We also need more young people with idealism to join the party to fight for better future for ourselves as well as our future generations. I am now planning on membership drives among the younger generation in this respect. We need young people who has the energy and passion to clean up dirty politics by BN.
The last thing the party need is taking in opportunist politician that will tarnish our image among the voters.

还是你们比较历害啦..人家都没有用了你还打落水狗….你别这样酸人家…..自己和我们玩杯葛???你们才是不要脸的那个无赖…

There are so many ex UMNO and ex BN politicians in PKR now.
What make you come into conclusion that Tan Yee Kiew and Tan Kee Kwong are not opportunists. Mind you, if these 2 would have won posts in their respective paties and be appointment government posts , i bet you they stick to their parties. So, you welcome their type of specimen?
What is your objective criteria and paramenters to measure that someone is truely fighting for democracy and justice as well as for the poor and not a mere opportunist?
You have to be objective about this.
anyhow, i would like to thank you for voicing your view to reject HCG.

YB Sim
Strangely, I may have been playing pool when he was launching his career but that doesn’t make him any greater pool player than I am. Hence, we hope no one will “huan” him within the ranks. He may have brought thousands into Gerakan but his don “huan” attitude, better we leave him to his own devices…literally

huan said-”I’m a loyal man. I can’t simply go find another wife or girlfriend. I am not that type of person. I am very sincere and loyal.”
nini said-”i dont think so…”

Dear Eric,
We can never tell who is committed who is not. In the end his/her deeds will tell over time.
But Huan is an obvious case that he is not interested in pkr’s party struggle.
Having said so, we had Ezam, we had Dato Nalla, they were once committed, but look at what happened to them?
So in the end, it is history and the voters that will judge a politician.

Ng Bear Bear, 我们年级还轻，脸皮也薄，不懂玩威胁。做人要拿的起，放得下，自然会得其他人的尊敬。

When CSL start this game I know for sure he is bargaining with his party, he have no intention whatsoever to leave. He cares for his own interest first.
I suggest Pakatan Rakyat come out with conditions, that whoever wants to leave bn and join PR must first resign from their party and remain partyless for at least 6 months, just like Zaid. When they join PR they must start from scratch as an ordinary member for at least two years before they can seek for elected position and they cannot be a candidate for the next coming GE.
Of course PR leaders must be able to access the quality and sincerity of those who wants to join and determine who has to observe these conditions and for Zaid I am sure these conditions need not be applied on him.

Korek Korek Korek - famous words of one lawyer. So simply this - you go ahead and play the marbles cos you have more dignity doing so. Huan was launching his career bluffing himself to death. Let him be. Glad that folks like Dato Lee Kah Choon is contributing. Huan can contribute - passing out air in the staircase for his ex gerakan folks to smell.

Go ahead YB… get this kind of people out from PR.
We’re tired with this kind of opportunist… we’re not just a ‘batu loncatan’ for them.
Go to hell la Mr. Huan

范清远对沈志勤说: 我当年玩政治的时候,小沈都还在打弹珠呢!!
麦凯恩对奥巴马说: 我当年玩政治的时候,你都还穿尿布呢!!
Huan Cheng Guan told Sim Tze Tsim : You were still playing marbles when I joined politics!!
Mccain told Obama: You were still wearing pampers when I joined politics!!

YB Sim,
I feel that no need to waste ur time to play with his kind of Frog la.. After all this frog can’t jump far. Say want to jump kenot jump, say want to stay also not sure want to stay. Kenot ’swim’ one. It is not a good frog! If PKR accept him also is a waste of space. Later on he will jump away again. Never accept a problem since u already know it is a problem. Let him be in under the tempurung and he will die very soon cos out of food.
Feel that penang politicians MUST focus on bring in more new job and opportunity into Penang. Not sure you realize that a lot of construction project (factory construction~ like Ibiden Project in fact is already on hold until further notice) in fact is being postponed/ on hold/ stopped. Contractors no work, labour no job, supplier no business.. This is the main problem we faced now. So please help.. rather than fighting with this kind of useless frog..
其实都不需要跟着这种青蛙一起跳。跳不走，想留又留不住。是一只“不能游” 的青蛙！
这种政治青蛙做事犹豫不决，整天只会“表演”，看了都sien.. 有种就敢敢走啦！是好料的话去到那里都有人要的。看来你们还是不要在这样的人身上浪费时间。说真的他不是什么好材料啦! 做不了大器的。如果接受了他，改天他又用同样的方法制回你们。
很多槟城的承包商（专做工厂的承包商如烧焊佬、水泥）现在没有工做，很多以前的工程做完了就没有再有新的了。很多工厂的工程都展延、改期了，就连日资工厂Ibiden也展延了工程。承包商没新的工程、工人没工开，供应商没人供应等链锁问题，如果政客们还酱玩下去的话那么大家很快就要一起死了！

YB,
Good opinion about Huan who is playing around politic for his own benefit. Mr.Huan have to respect young generation & other politician view. PKR can’t receive any politician who like join the party if that politician have personal agenda. Yb Sim continue your statement and we support you.
