Why is Bersih not holding their rally against corruption in Penang, where its Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is currently facing corruption charges, questioned Gerakan Youth leader Tan Keng Liang.

"They claim to be against corruption, but when they launched their convoy on Oct 1, they only target non-Pakatan states and glaringly, excludes Penang, where DAP's chief minister is facing a corruption trial.

"If you're against corruption, why not hold (the rally) in Penang? Better not to have it, but since you are, why not in Penang?

"That's the question Bersih should answer," Tan said in his speech at the 45th Gerakan National Delegates Conference's officiating ceremony in Kuala Lumpur today.

However, he maintained that they should not hold the rally on the streets, adding that his offer to provide a stadium for the rally still stands.

Street demonstrations, he explained, will lead to chaos and inconvenience people and businesses in the area.

"On such street demonstrations, I feel Gerakan Youth should be part of the solution.

"Let me state today that Gerakan Youth's offer to provide a stadium is still valid. Our offer is still open to Bersih and the red shirts.

"We hope that they will make the right choice and hold their demonstration peacefully and without affecting the public safety of others," he said.

Tan said he had sent a letter with his offer to the Bersih office but has yet to receive a reply.

Unfortunately, he said, he could not send a similar letter to the red shirts as they are not a proper organisation or entity with a mailing address.

"We don't know where the red shirts' office is, so we don't know where to send the letter," he said.

He is, however, open to discussion on the idea with red shirts leader Jamal Md Yunos.

If they were to accept Gerakan Youth's offer, Tan said the party would make sure the two groups would not clash by ensuring they held their rallies at separate venues.

"(If the red shirts say they want to hold it in the same stadium as Bersih), my answer is no.

"We just want to make sure there's no clash, so that (both groups having their rallies in the same place) would defeat the purpose," he said.

Bersih is on their seven-week nationwide convoy, leading up to their Bersih 5 rally on Nov 19 in Kuala Lumpur.

Their five demands are for clean elections, clean government, the strengthening of parliamentary democracy, the right to dissent and the empowerment of Sabah and Sarawak.
