Karpal Singh warned former DAP vice president Tunku Abdul Aziz to stop exposing party secrets.
Is DAP a secret society that they have too many secrets to hide and afraid of them being released into public domain? Do they have their own OSA (Official Secret Act), whereby the party can charge party members or former members for contravening the act?
How exactly is he going to take action against Tunku Aziz for telling the truth?
They talk about democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to protest, freedom to demonstrate, freedom to tell lies and freedom to do anything they want. When it comes to where it hurts them, freedom flew out of the window.
Are they the untouchables, not of the Hindi lowest caste, but of the Mafioso type? You squealed, you are dead meat.
What a bunch of plaster saints. Hypocrisy of the highest order.

"Tunku Aziz ialah bekas naib presiden DAP. DAP memandan
tinggi Tunku Aziz.Sejak meniggalkan DAP, Tunku Aziz bertugas
sebagai algojo bagi pihak UMNO.Kerja nya 24 jam menghentam
DAP.DAP tidak pernah mencerca nya semenjak berpisah.Hanya
ahli DAP yang tak seberapa seperti saya sahaja yang rasa perlu menyanggah tindakan Tunku Aziz."

I am not sure what to make out of his broadside attack of Tunku Aziz when he had done worst against his former party UMNO. Almost all of his writings are malodorous blitzkrieg against his former party and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. Not a single day pass by without him spurting venom against UMNO or Najib.
Here's one on Najib.
This must be the archetypal "pot calling the kettle black."
Like most pro-opposition writers they reckon only they have the privilege to deploy their foul and filthy attacks on their political opponents, the other side should not have the privilege to do so, should not be accorded the same freedom of speech and should not retaliate if under attacks.
For the 'anak raja Melayu' born with the silver spoon who wants to join DAP or any other political party for that matter, if your genetic constitution is of the higher order, my advice is do think twice, you'll be dealing with uncouth leadership bereft of good manners, which the Tunku soon found out to his great dismay, rudely awaken by the "Little Emperor" that rule over the tiny blob called 'Pearl Of The Orient, or as Mahathir once said "Rubbish of the Orient"
I do agree with Sakmongkol there is absolutely nothing wrong for a Malay prince to join DAP or any other political party, but it is of convention and expected of the prince that he ends his princely role with the royal household should he decides to take active role in politics.
In Malaysia, 'convention' is a word amiss, certainly not in the political lexicon.
Tunku Zain is "Anak Raja Melayu", Tunku Aziz is "Anak Raja Melayu"
If necessity is the mother of all invention than experience is the mother of all teachings. Maybe, Tunku Aziz had eaten more salt and knew better.
For SakmongkolAK47, since he is all huff and puff about UMNO having lost majority Malay support, I hope DAP will reciprocate his good work of soiling his former party by making him a suitable candidate in a Malay majority area.
As they say "as you make your bed, so you must lie in it."

Tunku Aziz has resigned from DAP, which was not unexpected.
This man used to be my school teacher, a strict disciplinarian and as straight as an arrow.
A man with so much integrity yet the party that shouted the loudest about corruptions in the country abused his judgement on such triviality as his consternation of Bersih 3 unlawful activity.
Maybe, it's a blessing in disguise for the Tunku, he was never made to fit in such chauvinistic and histrionic environment. The pretension of being squeaky clean when you are not. Do not pretend, there is no Lee Kuan Yew in this country.
What else could these intellectualy challenged political eunuchs could have said, other than that he has been bought by UMNO.
Can he fits in UMNO, I doubt very much. I don't think he needs UMNO, which has been at the brunt of his anti-corruption crusade.
Obviously, a little success has made DAP big-headed and arrogant.

In my previous article 'Tunku Aziz: An Enigma?' I raised the question and rationale of him, not so much as joining politics but his choice of political party, DAP a party aligned to Anwar Ibrahim whom, going from some of his past articles , one can conclude that Anwar is not one of his favourite politicians.
In the past, West Malaysian politicians including Anwar himself had ridiculed,condemned and laughted at Sabah politicians, those that can be easily bought by offer of money and positions.Today the disease promoted by Anwar to grab power had come to the Peninsula and those in the Pakatan camp made it sounds so morally acceptable to use this option to take over a duly elected government.What's is even more surprising the Western media which usually screamed their head off on such undemocratic actions are keeping their silence.
Although I don't think the present government is doing a fantastic job I do believe Anwar should wait until the next general elections to mount a challenge to takeover the government.In the meantime he should stay and be a good and effective opposition.
Much as I have suspected Tunku Aziz will not disappoint those who believe in the ballot boxes and the democratic process.Below is his wisdom on Anwar's political philosophy.
KUALA LUMPUR: It is unethical to don the mantle of government other than through the ballot box, says DAP vice-chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim. In disagreeing with the idea of forming a government by asking politicians to switch sides, he said: "This is really a matter not so much of politics but really to do more with ethics in politics.
"There is no law to stop people from crossing over from one party to another and this has happened in Sabah where opposition members crossed over to Barisan Nasional.
"Still, this does not really give it any legitimacy just because it has happened before.
"I totally disagree with it. The only way you can really achieve legitimacy to govern is through the ballot box. As I have said before, there is a time and place for it.
"The time is the next general election and the place is the polling station," he told the New Straits Times. Read more........

After having done four years in a Malay primary school I was selected to go to one of the premier schools at Jesselton in the then British North Borneo.
Coming from a Malay school I had to attend two years of bridge classes, a kind of preparatory class to learn the English language and learn all subjects in English for entry to secondary level.
My first and second year at that school was the time I met Tunku Abdul Aziz, my English and form teacher.A tall burly man with light pockmarked face who spoke English with a twang, he can either give you comfort as well as strike terror.He was a perfect example of a person you either love or hate.Though I didn't have many years of his teachings, on hindsight, I would say he was a good teacher.
Tunku left North Borneo and went back to Malaya soon after I entered my secondary level.I believe most students have lost contact with him soon thereafter.
I only rediscover Tunku a few years back through his various articles published in our national papers from time to time and his active participation in Transparency International.He has also served in various capacities in the private and public sector.He is an avid critic of corruptions in government and has sat on the advisory boards of various International organisations.He has been apolitical all this while until last month when he joined the DAP which came as a huge surprise to many people.
One would have thought that if he had wanted to go into politics he would join PKR.The choice of DAP was baffling, making him an enigma.He wouldn't want to join UMNO because of his critical view of the party and his constant reminder of corruptions in government.
The probable reasons for him not joining PKR was that he might have burned the bridge between him and Anwar by his article that appeared in the New Straits Times on July 27 2008 titled 'Cut the theatrics,Anwar,and let Malaysians get on with their live'.
What I found inexplicable and one that left me in the lurch is that if Anwar isn't his cup of tea as the next prime minister of this country, isn't joining DAP is in conflict with this political philosophy ?
It is simply stupefying that someone who had written an irate article against the person a month ago can now join forces with him indirectly through a coalition partner who is likely to agree to stage a coup to bring down a duly elected government.
It would be interesting to find out where Tunku Aziz's stand is with Anwar taking over the government by luring BN lawmakers by offering sweeteners to defect to his side?
