Tunku, you have no right to differ

These few days the fall-out of Tunku Aziz, DAP’s National Vice-Chairman has been the talk of the town.  I am flabbergasted at the reaction especially in blogs.  Reading through the blogs has reinforced my belief that many bloggers, in particular DAP’s cyber troopers, have completely lost sense of all rationality and has shown us the face of the very ugly Malaysians.  The personal attacks on Tunku Aziz have gone beyond civility. Just a few samples of what has been said on the blog. Senile old man.  An UMNO stooge.  How much have you been paid? Feudal aristocrat. Can’t even...

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG: A REVIEW
