Suspended Gerakan vice-president Huan Cheng Guan today delivered a two-week ultimatum to the party to lift his three-year suspension or see him walk out of the party.

He justified his move by comparing his situation with that of controversial Penang Bukit Bendera Umno division head Ahmad Ismail whose suspension was lifted recently, Haun said his offence was not as grave as the former's.

"You compare lah what Ahmad did and what I did. Do you think what I did was more serious? I don't think so.

huan cheng guan "If we go to court, he (Ahmad) should be sentenced to maybe 20 years in jail, and maybe I get two months jail," he said, adding that the party should make a decision on this matter.

"Maybe I'll give them two weeks to decide but if the suspension continuous, I will resign from the party. I don't' want to waste my time on Gerakan. So I will go," he stressed.

When asked what after Gerakan, he replied: "There are a lot of options. When the time comes, I will let you know".

Huan, has been suspended from the beleaguered Barisan Nasional component party in June after his public outbursts against party colleagues following its major defeat in stronghold Penang to Pakatan Rakyat in the last general elections.

Meanwhile, controversial Ahmad was suspended for three years last November over his alleged racist remarks on the Chinese community during the Permatang Pauh by-election in August last year.

His suspension was, however, lifted by Umno recently

Penangites don't want old faces

Huan also remarked that Gerakan might lose its support if it maintained the suspension on him.

"Next time if Gerakan was to go for elections in Penang, people won't support them anymore. Very simple.

"In Penang, they need change, especially the state leadership if they want to win back the state. People say it is recycled item already. People don't want old faces there," he said.

Although he refused to elaborate on the 'recycled item', it can be perceived as a sly dig at party president Koh Tsu Koon.

"I think if you go to Penang and ask the people, they will tell you. You walk along the street and ask any person, they will tell you who should go," he said.
