It was not too long ago that some of the National Leadership of our Party went to Sabah to welcome the joining of Raymond Tan Shu Kiah and Au Kam Wah (formerly of SAPP, Sabah ) into our fold. In an emotional speech, Raymond mentioned that after searching high and low, he has now found a new home, and together with his colleague, Au, they will endeavour to make Gerakan Sabah a stronger party and a better representation for the people of Sabah.

Yesterday, Pahang Gerakan State Liaison Committee chairman Dato' Dr Ng Keong Chye announced that Independent State Assemblyman for Tanah Rata, Pahang, Ho Yip Kap, has officially joined Parti Gerakan.

We are proud that Ho has decided to pick Gerakan as a new platform for him to serve the people, especially the constituents of Tanah Rata, despite him being approached initially by opposition parties. I believe we can work as a team for the benefit of the people. 

I was told that Ho's decision to join Gerakan was made after due consideration with his supporters and grassroots' views, and his joining Gerakan will make Pahang Barisan Nasional stronger to face opposition challenges.

In a ceremony together with other State leaders, Dr Ng, who is also Ketari State Assemblyman, accepted Ho's application with open arms. 

Ho was a former headmaster until his entry into Pahang politics. Since becoming independent, he has continue his efforts to fight for the welfare of his constituents, the majority of whom are farmers. And now that he has decided to use a greater platform to discharge his duties, we wish him the best for the year 2010.

With Ho joining Gerakan, Barisan Nasional now has 38 seats out of the 42 in the Pahang State Legislative Assembly. PAS and DAP have two seats each.
