Umno youth joining Perkasa because they are disillusioned with KJ – Perkasa

Arman Azha Abu Haniffah, the wira chief of Malay rights group Perkasa has hit out at Khairy Jamaluddin, the Umno Youth chief saying that there are now more members of the wing joining Perkasa because they are disillusioned with Khairy’s leadership because they no longer championed the rights of the Malay community. He said that the members of the Umno youth were unhappy because the party no longer prioritized the Malay’s interests.

He said “The sentiment on the ground is that Umno Youth is missing the presence of a Youth chief who prioritises Umno, Malay interests above everything else. Lately, Khairy’s statements do not reflect his position as Umno Youth chief. He should understand, his priority is to safeguard the interests of Umno first, but what is happening is that Khairy seems more concerned with his position as Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth chief. That is why Umno Youth members are joining Perkasa.”

Those idiots only see and recognised the figure `30`. This 30 had for the last 53years carry them no way saved for the few who are the elite. I believe Khairly can see more than the`30` which is looming in the distance which is more important if the Malays can shift away their mentality and instead allow equal playing field . Without the latter,FDI from abroad or asking more local companies to invest in own coun tries is falling on deaf ears. Pakasa and those who keep clinging to this `30` really sucks !

He also said that “Perkasa currently had 300,000 members, and 70 per cent of them were “under the age of 40.” We have members not only from Umno, but PAS and PKR as well. We are here to defend Malay rights from being trampled upon, and we have never wavered from this position,” - -

SURE OR NOT? 300,000 members? I heard news about 300 members only?

Khairy has since said that if it is found that the claims by Perkasa is true, he is ready to leave the party. To this, Arman questioned “Is that a statement befitting an Umno leader? Is he not confident that he can get support from within Umno? I thought Khairy was a liberal leader, educated and believed in freedom of association. Why is he warning Umno members not to support or join Perkasa? He has to walk the walk, not just talk. He does not speak for Umno. Let Umno members decide on their own whether or not they want to support Perkasa. You cannot reject Perkasa. Instead of pointing fingers, work with us, we should have closed-door meetings, discussions. Leaders come and go, but Umno will remain what it is, standing because of the party’s constitution,”
