Cabinet reshuffle: Umno Youth not dismayed by Khairy’s exclusion

Umno Youth is not dismayed by its leader Khairy Jamaluddin’s exclusion from the second Cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak as claimed by the opposition.

Umno Youth vice-chief Datuk Razali Ibrahim said the revamp involved only the MCA, MIC, the PPP and the SUPP.

“But the opposition made it out as if Khairy was ignored. It is funny and clearly showed a lack of political maturity on their part by trying to distort facts to mislead the people.

“We do not feel anything... It is the prerogative of the prime minister to appoint anyone in the reshuffle,” he told reporters after closing the Pengkalan Chepa Kite Festival at Kampung Sering here today.

Razali, who is Deputy Youth and Sports Minister, was commenting on reports in a number of websites which questioned why Khairy, who is MP for Rembau, was left out in the recent reshuffle.

On the Israeli commando raid on a Gaza-bound aid-carrying ship, Razali said Umno Youth would launch a short messaging service (SMS) campaign with each SMS costing 50 sen.

He said proceeds from the campaign would be donated to a humanitarian fund to assist the oppressed Palestinians.

This cabinet is ineffective for 10 Malaysia Plan. Adding Khairy would do more harm esp when TDM is still around and exerting undue influence.
