Haha... I didn't know WP was so insecure and has to "keep tabs" on me... Hahaha!
It is a total lie to say I was pulling members from WP. I have never initiated a concerted effort in doing such thing. Many people left WP after GE2006 on their own accord and most probably they saw the same problems. Chia TL and James Gomez left, definitely not because of me. Wai Leng and husband left because of LTK and YSL, even though Wai Leng finally joined me. I do not even need to try to persuade them to leave and join me! In fact, it was after this couple left WP that they finally see the light that they have been totally misled and minds being poisoned by sweet talkers with daggers behind their back. Salim and another cadre left, on their own as well. Then it was followed by Nazryn whom I was briefly introduced just before he decided to call it quit from WP. It is only after these people left and they started to compare notes among themselves, they finally see the light. And I have absolutely nothing to do with their departure from WP. I approached them after they left, trying to understand what's the main reasons behind. It is really a big shame to try and put the main problems of the inability of WP to keep their people to me. That's not just incompetency but delusional.
On the matter of party membership, I will always on the look out for fresh ones; those who have not joined any party just yet. It is not my style to go poaching people from other parties. I could say 100% of the time, it was people from other parties who approached me after they faced problems with their own parties. It is pretty sad to think that WP has such mentality. Instead of reflecting on where has gone wrong with its own management style, it would rather self rationalize its loss of members due to other people like me.
All I have written here are hard facts, hard truth for WP people and these can all be verified by approaching each and every individuals who have left WP. The only reason why four ex-former WP members agreed to join me in NSP is because of my sincerity to provide a platform for their political sanctuary after their departure.
Many of those candidates and members who contributed to WP's GE2006 success in re-branding itself have left WP. You will just have to take a quick count of how many of those 2006 candidates left in WP to verify it. It cannot be just pure coincidence or that I have so much influence over all of these people to make them do so. In fact, if you check with many of these people, I have instead encouraged them to stay on instead of leaving. But it seems that they would rather take the red pills eventually.
Well, it is not my job to teach or remind WP on what went wrong. If WP carries on its present path, the slippery road of decline will just be round the corner I bet.

No lah that's not true. GMS was sidelined by LTK after GE2006 and he knew he didn't want to remain longer. The trigger was the flame war in the old delphi SBF that resulted in the WP leadership sending out a directive that CEC members cannot post in forums in their real names. GMS and CTL left in a huff.
Later I found out that WP was keeping tabs on GMS because he was pulling members. True enough, one year later 4 WP members left WP to join GMS. And you wonder why there is bad blood.
