Labuan: In reactivating Gerakan branches on the island, Gerakan President Datuk Mah Siew Keong advised party members that working hard alone is not good enough if it cannot be translated into votes for the Barisan Nasional."Throughout the country we have been working very hard for the people, yet we lost badly in the last general election," he said. Mah was one of the casualties in the national polls until he reclaimed Teluk Intan with a slim 238-vote majority in a by-election forced by the death of the incumbent last year.
