The word is that Khairy has thrown his weight behind Hishammuddin.
He has reportedly sent out word to his boys on the ground to support the Defence Minister.
Khairy made a spirited speech at the event, lauding Hishammuddin as a friend of the youth generation.
Jocelyn also added that,
Khairy is playing a rather strategic game. It is no secret that he and Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir are bitter rivals. Their rivalry is complicated by the role that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad played in the premature exit of Khairy’s father-in-law Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
It is not just about who moves up faster but it is also about settling old scores.
Helping Hishammuddin will, in some ways, check Mukhriz’s advance in the VP contest.

Meanwhile at NST today, there was an article which appeared to be rather harmless but if you read it in full will reveal a very interesting conclusion. Here are excerpts from that article,
Veteran Datuk Rahmah Abdul Hamid, 81, has found "experience" an important factor to consider when choosing the right candidate.
"Anybody looking to be elected into office should have served the party, starting out at the lower ranks," she said, while voicing her disappointment at the entrance of Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir into the vice-presidency race.
"While I have nothing against him, I feel that Mukhriz has been pushed far too quickly up the ranks. He has not even served as division leader yet.
"Umno works religiously from ground to the top and if you have not spent time building the party or being a coolie, then you will not understand the sentiments of party members."
She said Mukhriz should instead spend his time focusing on Kedah and get accepted by the people there first.
She pointed out that, in contrast, incumbent vice-president (Datuk Seri) Hishammuddin Hussein had his foot on the ground and knew the party's ins and outs.

Her son KJ worked as an Umno 'coolie' for how many years before being installed as Umno deputy Youth chief (uncontested)?
ReplyDeleteI was there la: KJ hardly knew Pemuda UMNO yet was appointed by hisham as exco. Then contested dep youth chief & not surprisingly won uncontested. the rest is history. Point: when did KJ serve as coolie in UMNO? The whole world knows his rise was meteoric and hisham was among the ennablers/culprits!

Maafkan Datuk Rahmah binti Abd.Hamid atas pendapatnya itu!. Bukankah kasih ibu membawa ke syurga. Tapi belum masa lagi untuk pergi ke syurga di alam yang fana ini.
