YOURSAY ‘Nik Abduh, do you realise that you’ve sullied your father's good name?’

 

I knew my father better, Nik Abduh tells critics

Ferdtan: Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Aziz said this of his father, Nik Aziz, "You only knew my father through political speeches and his political activities.

 

“You only saw this side of him. You were lucky to gain political knowledge from him, but I learned about life from him.”

 

So let us rephrase what you want to say, Nik Abduh. You mean that what your father said in public political speeches, supposedly meant for us public, are not what he reiterated to you in private?

 

You mean that he was not completely honest with us all these while? Are you calling your father a person whom I think is definitely not - that he was politically dishonest?

 

So your father told you not to hit at your political enemies, BN-Umno, but it is alright to hit out at friends like DAP and PKR?

 

Nik Abdul, please don’t insult the good memory of your much revered father.

 

Malaccan: Being the son is not the same as being the father. PM Najib Razak is Abdul Razak's son. But he is less the man his father was. So is Nik Abduh.

 

A man may have his father's genes but not his wisdom, character or values. Nik Abduh should stop riding on his father's coattails. It is a poor man who has no standing of his own despite a renowned father.

 

Worse still, is a son who shamelessly claims to speak in his father's name after his passing. Many a disciple of great teachers have been truer to their master's vision and teaching than their own children.

 

Nik Abduh should take note and live up to Nik Aziz's reputation than to tarnish his legacy. His arrogance to try and claim his father's voice and place in his party only reinforces his weakness and lack of character.

 

If he must pander to Umno for his survival or castigate his opponents for Umno's favour, let him do it in his own name. Nik Aziz didn’t appoint Nik Abduh his spokesman in his lifetime means he does not do so either in his death.

 

FairMind: Nik Abduh, do you realise that you are sullying your father's good name barely one month after his demise?

 

What you are implying is that your father is a dishonest person who told Malaysians and his coalition partners in Pakatan Rakyat one thing and told you the opposite?

 

As far as we know, your father would not touch Umno with a 10-feet pole after the betrayal of PAS by Umno and had praised his coalition members and even DAP.

 

I don't know what to say about a son who would sully his father's reputation so soon after his burial.

 

Mushiro: If Nik Abduh knew his father better, he did not have to say it as the people will know it.

 

Implying that TGNA (Tok Guru Nik Aziz) prefers a UG (unity government) is insulting TGNA as TGNA was very clear about his stand on Umno.

 

Appum: You claimed to know your father very well? Are you saying your father's political speeches are all hypocritical talk, shallow and misleading, so much so we from the outside had misread his character?

 

If you know your father that well, you wouldn't be talking like this and trying to prepare us for your treacherous move to join Umno, which is your father's greatest hate.

 

If you cannot come up to your father's known qualities, don't try to. Just be yourself.

 

Haveagreatday: Yes, Nik Abduh, I will not dispute the fact that you should know your father better. But if the TGNA is a closet religious extremist and racist, he took that secret to his grave.

 

So, please don't defile the memory of him by your unscrupulous actions.

 

Whatsup: This man is an Umno lackey then? Sad that he and other leaders chose to disrespectfully tarnish their father's legacy.

 

One wouldn't believe for one second that the late Nik Aziz would put up a false facade for so many years if he hadn't been convinced of what Umno is.

 

CQ Muar: Nik Abduh, so you are claiming you know your late father better than anybody else? Then we feel sorry for you had learnt nothing.

 

Don't try to impress us just because you're the son of a spiritual leader. Nik Aziz was a well-respected man - a far cry from Nik Abduh, who is only a novice in the political arena.

 

Yeoke: It appears that he is now exploiting of his father's good name. He has been attacking Pakatan ever seen his father passed away.

 

Ayam RM1...Bila?: Nik Abduh, your father was a honourable  man, a man of high integrity.

 

But sad to say you cannot live up to your father’s standards. You have indeed succumbed to Umno's rewards. 

 

Rupert16: Nik Abduh, you may know your father better than any one of us but you certainly did not learn much from him. What a shame.
