KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan) acting president Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon decided to stay in the party after being persuaded by the party's central committee.

Koh said Monday (10 Mar) in a press conference after having meeting with other central committee members of the party that he was fully responsible for the upset of Gerakan but the central committee reminded him that he must work together with the party for its revitalization.

Koh tendered his resignation in the two-hour meeting but it was rejected by the central committee.

Koh urged those candidates who lost in the elections not to be disappointed and not to lose their morale. Instead, they should keep serving the people.

He said the election results was in fact a lesson to be learned for the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, especially for Gerakan. The party will humbly accept and review it to find out the root of the problem.

Gerakan former president Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik also attended the meeting.
