Khairy To Explain Offending Remark At BN Youth Meeting
Khairy To Explain Offending Remark At BN Youth Meeting
A remark by Umno Youth vice-chief Khairy Jamaluddin that is said to have offended Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties will be discussed at a BN Youth meeting.
Khairy said BN Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, who is also Umno Youth chief, would set the date of the meeting.
"I'll wait for the date set by Hishammuddin and we will discuss with BN Youth to strengthen unity and cooperation and relationship," he told reporters after opening the Tangga Batu Umno Youth, Wanita and Puteri delegates conferences here Sunday.
He said the BN Youth meeting was the best forum to him to state the truth.
"I don't want to discuss (the matter) in the newspapers because I know it's not constructive," he said.
Khairy has been criticised of late, particularly by the MCA leadership, after he was quoted as saying that if Umno became weak, other BN component parties would take advantage of the situation with various demands.
In JERANTUT, Hishammuddin said Umno would not open its doors to anyone who attempted to disunite members in the party and Umno Youth would fight those who tried to fish in troubled waters.
Speaking to Jerantut Umno delegates at their conference today, he also urged Umno members to give undivided loyalty to party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
"Whatever the challenges that come, we will continue to support the current leadership," he said.
Hishammuddin, who is Education Minister, told reporters later that all elected representatives should monitor projects to build new schools in their constituencies to ensure that they did not face any problem.

Mahathir accuses Umno of censoring his views
Former premier says old party colleagues now ignoring him
FORMER Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad, who is embroiled in a feud with the government, says old friends from the ruling party are now ignoring and censoring him.
'Old friends who had sat on the same table with me for 20 years do not want to get close to me now and I am alone,' Tun Dr Mahathir was quoted as saying in The Star newspaper yesterday.
The 81-year-old has been accused of trying to bring down the government with caustic attacks on successor Abdullah Badawi, to whom he handed over power in 2003 after 22 years.
He has accused Datuk Seri Abdullah of nepotism and corruption and of damaging the economy and dismantling his legacy by reversing some major decisions including a plan to build a new bridge to Singapore.
At the weekend, Tun Dr Mahathir, who has said he is now a 'pariah' in the ruling Umno party, blasted excuses used to keep him from speaking out.
'People say I am old and senile, unable to talk. Out of compassion, they want me to stay put, on a bed, marking time...that is not right,' he was quoted as saying by the state Bernama news agency.
The New Straits Times also reported him as complaining that his party was censoring him.
'I am the former party president yet they don't want me to talk to the members. I can't even meet them,' it quoted him as saying.
'Universities are barred from inviting me and newspapers are prevented from reporting about me.'
The elder statesman has announced that he will stand in an Umno division contest in his home state of Kedah on Saturday, when delegates will be selected to attend the party's key general assembly meeting in November.
Tun Dr Mahathir, if elected to attend the meeting, is expected to use the opportunity to again criticise Datuk Seri Abdullah and his administration, and a number of Umno members have pleaded with him not to stand.
Umno vice-president Muhyiddin Yassin was yesterday reported to have told Tun Dr Mahathir to stop criticising the current administration and move on.
The NST quoted him as saying: 'We know that Tun does not agree with some of the decisions that we have made.
'But the government has given its explanation, and I believe we do not have to waste time harping on the issues any more.'
Tan Sri Muhyiddin said: 'We have to move forward and develop our country. These issues do not help us achieve this.
'It is better that we use the time to explain to the people the government's development programmes.'

Umno ditadbir secara kuku besi - Dr Mahathir
Meskipun tidak mendapat restu dari Umno Bahagian Kuala Pilah, namun program bersama bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad anjuran Umno Cawangan Kampung Padang Jual, Johol di Kuala Pilah tetap diteruskan dengan permit polis.
Menurut bekas PM itu, Umno hari ini tidak lagi mengenal erti demokrasi sebaliknya parti Melayu itu telah ditadbir secara kuku besi.
Kata Dr Mahathir, pemimpin Umno hari ini menggunakan kuasa yang ada pada kerajaan untuk menyekat ahli Umno dari bercakap, bertemu dan berbincang dengan orang lain (yang tidak sehaluan).
Beliau berkata demikian ketika bercakap di hadapan lebih 300 ahli Umno dari Cawangan Kampung Padang Jual, Johol Kuala Pilah semalam. Dr Mahathir turut ditemani isterinya, Tun Dr Siti Asmah Mohd Ali dan beberapa pemimpin Umno tempatan.
Menurut Dr Mahathir, pemimpin-pemimpin Umno kini menyalahgunakan kuasa mereka bagi mengekalkan jawatan bagi terus berkuasa.
"Dalam Umno sudah tidak ada demokrasi. Parti ini tidak patuh kepada prinsip demokrasi," katanya lagi.
Program sanjugan budi bersama Dr Mahathir itu turut mendapat saingan dari satu lagi program yang diuar-uarkan oleh Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan, Dato' Seri Mohammad Hassan di Stadium Paroi pada sebelah malamnya.
Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan itu telah mengumumkan tiket percuma menonton perlawanan separuh akhir bola sepak Piala Malaysia antara NS Naza menentang Telekom Melaka FC (TMFC) kepada rakyat negeri ini.
Lebih 50,000 penonton menyaksikan perlawanan bola sepak yang berkesudahan NS Naza menumbangkan TMFC 1-0 dalam saingan separuh akhir pertama itu dan perlawanan separuh akhir kedua akan menyusul di Stadium Hang Jebat Melaka minggu depan.
Mengulas perkembangan itu, seorang pemimpin politik veteran yang enggan namanya disiarkan berkata, jika MB tidak mengumumkan tiket percuma, beliau pasti program bersama bekas PM akan mendapat sambutan luar jangka.
"Saya kira akan ada 1000 kehadiran, bagaimanapun kurang dari itu.Tetapi tidak mengapa ia tetap mendapat sambutan," katanya ketika ditemui di sini selepas program.
Sementara itu sumber memberitahu, program bersama Dr Mahathir akan diadakan di Seremban dalam masa terdekat. Bagaimanapun tarikh dan butiran program tidak dinyatakan.
