Now Dr Toh, next Gerakan?
Dr Toh Kin Woon’ s support for Anwar Ibrahim and his resignation from Gerakan is a living proof that not only UMNO is no longer relevant in this current Malaysian political scenario, but also shows that even the BN coalition is no longer applicable for the component parties.
As Anwar put it:
“We think it’s a good sign. (It shows) people with principles with the BN will finally choose a Pakatan with principles.

Permatang Pauh by-election now will be more interesting as BN and UMNO Baru are loosing cannons to fire against Anwar while Anwar and PKR are gaining more bullets to fire against BN and UMNO Baru. The proposal by Gerakan Perak to pull out from BN coalition does not help either.
Clearly, BN is a sinking ship. While UMNO Baru are fighting internally for power struggles, Gerakan’s non-confidence by way of proposal to pull out of BN is surely a major blow to BN.
While Pak Lah and Najib can be forgiven for still hanging on to UMNO for the sake of their own political survivals, what else will it take to make others in UMNO Baru, MCA, MIC and the rest in BN to realize and accept the fact that they are no longer in the mainstream of Malaysian politic? September 16 perhaps? That would be too late guys.
