SHAH ALAM — Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz's use of 'resignation' as the Selangor Umno treasurer only shows that he is desperate.
According to sources close to the matter, Zafrul's decision to step down was perceived as a political maneuvering to maintain his relevance in politics, especially considering that his term as a Senator was nearing its end by the close of next year.
"It's evident that Zafrul is taking proactive steps to secure his political future.
"With the end of his tenure as a Senator approaching, he's exploring alternative avenues to remain active in the political arena," a source familiar with the situation told Sinar Daily.
Having already served two terms as a Senator, Zafrul's options for holding ministerial positions are limited once his current term concludes.
Hence, his resignation from the Selangor Umno treasurer position was viewed as part of a larger strategy to position himself strategically for future political roles.
"He basically needs a seat," the source added.
Meanwhile, another source stated that it was also due to his ongoing “beef” with State Umno chief Datuk Megat Zulkarnain Omardin, who had allegedly dropped his name during the State Election back in August last year.
