DAP & Tunku Zain

In the papers a few days back, Tunku Zain Al Abidin, son of Tuanku Muhriz the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan confessed that he was approached by the DAP. This only after Tunku Aziz, formerly a top official of the DAP, exposed the matter earlier. 

Now, it is interesting to discover why the DAP is paying special attention to Tunku Zain. There must be certain traits peculiar only to Tunku Zain that has endeared him and made him that desirable to the DAP. Surely among the many must be that the DAP deem him malleable to their schemes. For if Tunku Aziz himself, a man of wide experience and a veteran, could be summarily dismissed for voicing dissent, Tunku Zain who is still wet behind the ears, wouldn't be too difficult to deal with and make compliant.  

Besides, Tunku Zain has been on record disparaging UMNO by calling it a parasite. This too certainly would be among the important considerations before the DAP decided to send YB Loke as an emissary to offer the MB's post to him should he stand as a DAP candidate in the coming elections. However, all is still well for Tunku Zain because he had the good sense to turn down the offer.

I may be wrong but it will also not be too much if Tunku Zain could also have the good sense to discard his holier than thou attitude with regard to UMNO.  

For the DAP Tunku Zain would be a good catch, and that is all there is to it. They have no respect at all for the royalty. Finally it is good that the DAP offer of the MB’s post has not gone to his head, hopefully.
