It is unclear whether there were political reasons behind MIC's decision to let him go, as he said in his post that his retirement from politics was"not enough"
Mr Damanhuri served with MIC before leaving the institution to enter politics eight years ago. He contested in the 2015 general election under the SDP ticket, and although he did not win the contest, he quickly rose through the ranks of the opposition party. He was made a member of its Central Executive Committee .
Mr Damanhuri said that he felt a spiritual calling to rejoin the institution, having just completed his Umrah pilgrimage with his family. He was happy when MIC welcomed him to the director role for at least five years. However, two weeks into the job, he was informed that he “needed to go.” He was given three months’ notice and will leave MIC at the end of June.
