Press Conference Statement by DAP Secretary-General And Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town on 15.5.2012<\/p>\n
DAP Is Big Enough For Tunku Abdul Aziz To Remain As National Vice-Chair And Accomodate His Irreconciliable Differences With The DAP On Bersih\u2019s Quest To Conduct A Sit-In Protest In Dataran Merdeka To Press For Clean Elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n When announcing his resignation from DAP, Senator Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim cited \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d with the party leadership in dissenting with DAP\u2019s official position to support Bersih 3.0 to conduct a peaceful sit-in protest in Dataran Merdeka to press for clean, free and fair elections. DAP is big enough for Tunku Abdul Aziz to remain as National Vice-Chair and accomodate his\u201d irreconciliable differences\u201d with the DAP on Bersih\u2019s quest to conduct a sit-in protest in Dataran Merdeka to press for clean elections<\/p>\n Malaysiakini reported Tunku Abdul Aziz as saying his open disagreement with DAP made Tunku himself choose not to be re-nominated as a senator for Penang when his term expired on 30 May 2012, and stated that he was not sacked from his Dewan Negara’s post by DAP. Tunku Aziz had also suggested to the party leadership that DAP should subject him to the “same disciplinary procedure as any other party member” for his dissent. As disciplinary action from DAP was not forthcoming he had decided to resign from the DAP to avoid further embarrassment.<\/p>\n I would like to express my sadness at Tunku\u2019s announcement. DAP believes in freedom of speech and that every member and leader has a right to differ. I don’t agree that any disciplinary action should be taken against Tunku for differing with the party on Bersih’s right to do the sit-in protest in Dataran Merdeka.<\/p>\n Indeed there was general unhappiness at all levels in the party that he openly went against the party official position on Bersih before the rally on 28 April and also after. However, just as Tunku has the right to openly voice his dissent, the party\u2019s right to state its position on such a fundamental policy position as Bersih must also be respected. The party did not punish Tunku for voicing his dissent openly nor at any stage asked him to leave or resign.<\/p>\n I feel sad about Tunku wanting to leave the party because of differences over Bersih. After all Tunku had joined DAP because DAP offered a platform to promote integrity and fight corruption. DAP\u2019s performance in government after winning power in Penang in 2008 has been walking the talk in promoting integrity and fighting corruption.<\/p>\n Penang Pakatan Rakyat has taken the lead with open competitive tenders, open disclosure of government contracts and public declaration of assets by leaders. Not only Transparency International and the Auditor-General Report praised Penang\u2019s financial performance, even former MCA President Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik praised Penang for performing well and been clean from corruption.<\/p>\n Despite Tunku open dissent, the DAP leadership does not want him to leave the party but remain as DAP Vice-Chair. I hope we can resolve whatever differences within the party in the spirit of comradeship. I will contact Tunku to see him to discuss with him and hope he can change his mind about leaving the party.<\/p>\n —-BM Version—- DAP Memberi Ruang Yang Luas Dan Tempat Untuk Tunku Abdul Aziz Sebagai Naib Pengerusi Kebangsaan Serta Boleh Menerima Perbezaan Pendapat Dengan DAP Berkenaan Usaha Bersih Untuk Membuat Protes \u201cDuduk-Bantah\u201d Di Dataran Merdeka Untuk Menuntut Pilihan Raya Bersih.<\/strong><\/p>\n Apabila mengumumkan perletakan jawatannya daripada DAP, Senator Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim telah menyatakan \u201cperbezaan pendapat\u201d sebagai sebab, atas perselisihan dengan pendirian rasmi DAP untuk menyokong Bersih 3.0 dan menyertai protes \u201cduduk-bantah\u201d di Dataran Merdeka untuk menuntut pilihan raya bersih, bebas dan adil. DAP memberi ruang yang luas dan tempat untuk Tunku Abdul Aziz untuk kekal sebagai Naib Pengerusi Kebangsaan serta boleh menerima perbezaan pendapat dengan DAP atas usaha Bersih untuk membuat protes \u201cduduk-bantah\u201d di Dataran Merdeka untuk menuntut pilihan raya bersih.<\/p>\n Mengikut laporan Malaysiakini, Tunku Abdul Aziz telah menyatakan bahawa akibat perselisihan pendapat secara terbuka dengan DAP, beliau sendiri tindak ingin dicalonkan semula sebagai senator Pulau Pinang selepas tamat tempoh perkhidmatannya pada 30 Mei 2012, dan juga menyatakan bahawa beliau tidak diberhentikan daripada jawatannya dalam Dewan Negara oleh DAP. Tunku Aziz juga telah mencadangkan kepada pimpinan parti supaya \u201cmengambil tindakan tatatertib yang setimpal dengan ahli-ahli lain\u201d kerana menyuarakan pendapatnya yang berbeza. Oleh sebab tindakan tatatertib tidak diambil, beliau mengambil keputusan untuk letak jawatan daripada DAP untuk mengelakkan malu.<\/p>\n Saya ingin menyatakan kedukacitaan terhadap pengumuman Tunku. DAP percaya dalam prinsip kebebasan untuk bersuara dan setiap ahli dan pemimpin mempunyai hak untuk berbeza pendapat. Saya tidak setuju bahawa tindakan tatatertib harus diambil ke atas Tunku kerana berbeza pendapat dengan parti atas hak Bersih untuk melakukan protes \u201cduduk-bantah\u201d di Dataran Merdeka.<\/p>\n Sememangnya terdapat rasa tidak puas hati di kalangan ahli-ahli parti di setiap tahap kerana beliau telah mengambil pendirian terbuka yang bertentangan dengan parti dalam isu Bersih sebelum dan juga selepas perhimpunan pada 28 April. Namun begitu, jika Tunku berhak untuk menyuarakan pendapatnya yang berbeza, hak parti untuk menyatakan pendirian dalam isu dasar yang asas ini harus dihormati juga. Parti tidak sesekalipun mengambil apa-apa tindakan terhadap Tunku kerana menyuarakan perbezaan pendapatnya atau pun meminta agar beliau keluar atau letak jawatannya.<\/p>\n Saya berasa dukacita kerana Tunku ingin keluar dari parti disebabkan perbezaan pendapat dalam isu Bersih. Hakikatnya, Tunku telah memasuki DAP kerana DAP menawarkan pentas untuk mempromosikan integriti dan melawan rasuah. Prestasi DAP dalam kerajaan selepas mengambil alih Pulau Pinang pada tahun 2008 jelas telah membuktikan bahawa kami mempromosikan integriti dan melawan rasuah.<\/p>\n Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang telah mempelopori usaha integriti dan anti-rasuah melalui tender terbuka, pendedahan terbuka kontrak-kontrak kerajaan dan pengisytiharan harta oleh pemimpin-pemimpin. Bukan sahaja Transparency International malah Laporan Ketua Audit Negara juga telah memuji prestasi kewangan Pulau Pinang. Bahkan bekas presiden MCA Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik juga telah memuji Pulau Pinang kerana prestasi yang baik dan bersih daripada rasuah.<\/p>\n Walaupun beliau telah berbeza pendapat secara terbuka, kami tidak ingin beliau meninggalkan parti dan sebaliknya ingin beliau terus menjadi Naib Pengerusi DAP. Saya harap kita boleh menyelesaikan apa-apa perbezaan pendapat secara dalaman dan dengan semangat kesetiakawanan. Saya akan menghubungi beliau untuk berjumpa dan berbincang dengannya atas harapan beliau akan bertukar fikiran dan tidak keluar dari parti.<\/p>\n —-Mandarin Version—- <\/p>\n
