Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim's tumble from grace with the DAP leadership has been swift as good as serious as good as most doubt which he can go upon in DAP after what has happened.
THERE were 8 senators during the farewell luncheon hosted by the Dewan Negara though the media was usually interested in the single of them, namely, Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim.
The DAP Vice-Chairman has captivated as much media glisten during the close of his senatorship as he did when he began his term.
Tunku Aziz, who speaks unequivocally proper English, would substantially not approve of slang lingo, though he came in with the crash as good as right divided he is leaving with the bang. But there is the disproportion in the two bangs though. The fallout from the initial crash was upon the Barisan Nasional though the fallout from the second crash has landed precisely upon the DAP.
It is open hold by right divided which Tunku Aziz's senatorship was consummated since he did not toe the celebration line upon the BERSIH demonstration as good as which does not verbalise good of the DAP, especially since which the "D" stands for "democratic".
Several DAP leaders expressed warn during the move, though none of them wish to be quoted since they hold which Lim Guan Eng is the a single during the back of the preference as good as they have been afraid to cranky swords with their absolute secretary-general.
"I disagree with what Tunku Aziz pronounced about BERSIH though to terminate his tenure since of which is too drastic. It sends the summary which DAP is not open to alte! rnative views," pronounced the single DAP assemblyman.
Another DAP figure said: "The celebration leaders substantially feel he is the liability though politically speaking, it would have been better to keep him upon board."
Tunku Aziz had continued to verbalise his mind upon the BERSIH protests although Guan Eng had
publicly cautioned him to hold his tongue. The elderly gentleman supports BERSIH's aims of purify as good as fair elections though he had criticised the organisers' persistence to impetus to Dataran Merdeka instead of demonstrating in the stadium.
According to Tunku Aziz, he had been sensitive about the month ago which his tenure would be renewed. Guan Eng had even longed for to make known it during the final celebration central executive cabinet meeting though was told which the nomination is from Penang as good as he should put it before the Penang DAP committee. But before long after, Tunku Aziz opened his mouth upon the protests as good as the rest is history.
"Someone really senior as good as critical in the party, we won't say who, came to my house. He told me my senatorship was up for renewal though which there was the little difficulty in view of what we had pronounced about BERSIH. He pronounced the sentiment was not usually in the DAP though inside of the Pakatan Rakyat as good as it would be difficult to put up my name again. At which point, we pronounced which we did not wish to be the means of disharmony, which if putting up my name will means problems, greatfully do not do it," pronounced Tunku Aziz.
Tunku Aziz could review between the lines. He knew his predestine was sealed as good as he had no goal of sticking on. "It's the great privilege to be the senator though it is not something to be exchanged for one's conscience, honour as good as integrity. we regularly thought which as the a! pproved party, they would allow for dissent. we have review Kit Siang's book Right to Dissent. It's an critical book which suggests which dissent is something they embrace as partial of their domestic philosophy though obviously which is not what they practise," he added.
The subject which most have been asking is either it was necessary for the DAP to action so drastically opposite Tunku Aziz over what was an individual opinion. He had been welcomed in to the celebration as the "towering Malaysian" as good as his certification have been simply impeccable he is associated to the Kedah royalty, he has served in the United Nations as good as the Commonwealth Secretariat as good as he was, of course, the first boss of Transparency International Malaysian Chapter.
He brought with him unparalleled prestige as good as credibility. And as the on top of DAP representative put it, the celebration will never locate an additional Malay like him again. The action opposite him not usually suggests which the celebration cannot handle dissenting views though which it is usually interested in token Malay leaders people who have been mostly yes-men as good as do not ask too most questions. Or what the little call Malay apologists.
Party insiders pronounced Guan Eng is substantially disturbed which Tunku Aziz will go upon to plea the celebration stand upon alternative issues. He has turn the domestic risk especially with the general choosing so close.
Academic Dr Ariffin Omar who takes over from him belongs to the reputable NGO in Penang which is known to be the fierce critic of the Government or during slightest the Barisan Government. Dr Ariffin will be fine if he sticks to we do that.
Tunku Aziz is not sour though admitted to the shade of disappointment over the approach things have in! cited ou t. But those who make the difference to him have stood by him. His daughter who functions abroad sent the summary saying: "Dear Papa, we may not know the details as good as outs of politics, though we am unapproachable of we for vocalization out upon the right thing."
Another daughter positive him which he is "on the side of the angels". His friends have sent him enlivening messages because, as he put it, they "also hold in peace, prosperity as good as confidence for the country".
From distant divided in Manchester, the a single as good as usually Raja Petra Kamarudin wrote: 
"For someone who has done so much for the nation, we unequivocally do not merit the things they have been observant about we or what they have been we do to you." RPK asked him to quit the DAP since "the longer we sojourn in DAP, the more they will demonise you".
Tunku Aziz's tumble from grace with the DAP leadership has been serious as good as sudden as good as couple of see him flourishing in which sort of environment. But regardless of either he survives in or leaves the DAP, he has shown which he is unequivocally the towering Malaysian.
