Press statement by
Kedah Gerakan Chairman cum Derga State Assemblyman

Kedah Gerakan Chairman Dr. Cheah Soon Hai said that the recent demonstration by Kedah District Councillors demanding the resignation of the State Secretary of Kedah in front of Wisma Darul Aman, Alor Setar as inappropriate.
He felt that this demonstration was being used by the Kedah District Councillors when there were unsolvable problems between the civil servants and the Kedah state Pakatan Rakyat's government.
"Personally, I am curious of the Kedah District Councillors actions since they were being appointed by the Pakatan Rakyat government, they should be voicing their grief through the inside channel and not through demonstrations."
Dr. Cheah, also state assemblyman for Derga commented that all these actions were just political charades and being a common tactic by Pakatan Rakyat.
"Pakatan Rakyat's tactic is to find someone to blame in order to divert the attention of the people to soften the criticism towards them when they fail to resolve a problem."
He commented that as District Councillors, they should be working to solve the people's problem instead of politicising an issue.
Dr. Cheah stated that Pakatan Rakyat used to say that political parties should not interfere in the state's administration but they have breached on their words by interfering openly in this case. This proves that they are not sincere by not walking the talk. Therefore, Gerakan urges the Kedah District Councillors to apologise openly to the State Secretary of Kedah and Kedahans for their rude actions.
"The State Secretary of Kedah is appointed by the Sultan of Kedah himself; therefore to force his resignation means that you disrespect the power and decision from the Sultan of Kedah."
