DAP's Malay Support remains strong

by Dato Sabri Aziz@www.freemalaysiatoday.com

UMNO's hope that Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim's exit from DAP would serve as the matter prompting alternative Malays in DAP to do further has crumbled. Indeed, Tunku Aziz's action has reinforced the integrity of Malays who assimilated DAP to stay put notwithstanding his U-turn.

It has maybe usually now dawned upon UMNO that people adopt the sure domestic mount not since of loyalty to the figure. Such loyalty is ephemeral. You will see that soon as soon as UMNO boss Najib Tun Razak performs worse than his predecessor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

But the genuine emanate in my mind, is not about Tunku Aziz's depart from DAP at all. It's all about UMNO saying this as the possibility to revive the own abating legitimacy. How most times have I pronounced that UMNO cannot claim it is representing the Malays. In 2008, UMNO possibilities got usually two million of the 5.7 million votes.

That's the clearer pointer that UMNO is no longer relevant to Malays than Tunku Aziz's exit from DAP as suggesting that DAP is not concordant with Malays .Like UMNO's the the single preferred line when interpreting Tunku Aziz's exit, the exodus of Malays from the UMNO mothership can usually mean that Malays have been no longer concordant with UMNO.

If you have been eager to arrive at such the end from Tunku Aziz's exit, afterwards you contingency request the same line of reasoning as well as accordingly, the end regarding UMNO.

UMNO's brand new media darling

If you can't, afterwards see Tunku! Aziz's depart as it really is the depart of the single male who realises now that becoming different something cannot occur within the self-imposed time frame.Just like Tunku Aziz's remarkable eureka impulse that (Prime Minister) Najib Tun Razak's transformation takes time, that same logic contingency be applied to whatever Tunku Aziz wishes to occur to DAP.

Except the problem with Tunku Aziz is that the changes that he wants in DAP contingency take place NOW, though the changes that Najib is touting MUST be since the possibility to take place.

Why not the same treatment? Since withdrawal DAP, Tunku Aziz has become UMNO media's darling. He has been described as the Malay face that DAP can make use of to capture some-more Malays. What rubbish. Malays who assimilated DAP did not even embody Tunku Aziz in their equation.

With due respect to Tunku Aziz, he was an unknown domestic entity. It's positively not loyal that DAP wanted to make use of Tunku Aziz as the face that would tempt Malays in to fasten DAP. I find that offensive. The Malays who assimilated DAP find the little inflection with the values as well as struggles that DAP espouses.

'UMNO survives upon others' misfortune'

Why is UMNO worried about the handful of Malays being in DAP? It should inspire some-more Malays to stick upon DAP to restructure DAP as the multiracial party. It should not mount in the approach if Malays select to stick upon DAP unless of course, the very survival depends upon it being means to keep alive the extremist slants of Malaysian politics.

But afterwards that's how UMNO is. It can usually survive upon the misfortunes of others. It has never grounded the survival upon the strength of the own beliefs as well as values.UMNO is the sinking boat as well as if Malays do not want to stick upon DAP, they have been improved off fasten PAS the genuine Malay celebration founded upon values as well as principles.UMNO has neither beliefs nor integrity.

The b ard is the former UMNO state representative though assimilated DAP progressing this year. He is the FMT columnist.
