PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has confirmed speculation on social networking site Twitter that he will not defend his Rembau seat in the next general election.
When asked to verify the speculation that he might not contest in the 13th general election, Khairy replied “yes” via SMS.
He had earlier created quite a buzz in Twitter when he sent a tweet about taking a break from politics.
“Hope to help win more youth support for BN (Barisan Nasional) in 2011 & work hard preparing for elections. Then I’m taking a break from politics. Can’t wait,” Khairy wrote on Twitter.
His tweet generated much response from his followers who wondered if the Rembau MP was not going to defend his seat in the 13th general election.
“I would like to ‘stand down’ as they say in the UK. A couple of things I’d like to do before it gets too late,” tweeted Khairy in response to a follower who asked him what he meant by a “break”.
Asked how long he planned to be away from politics, Khairy replied: “Indefinite. Not sure what I will be doing. A few things I want to do like go back to school.”
Khairy first mentioned the possibility of not defending his seat in an interview with a newsportal last July.
At that time, he clarified his statement a day later, saying he was only mulling the possibility and that he had yet to make a firm decision on the matter.
ramai orang rembau dok marah, khairy jarang turun ke tempat sendiri. tapi kalau ada prk kat mana-mana siap buat rumah kat situ lagi. orang rembau mula menolak khairy, katanay lagi chegu bard rajin turun berkongsi masalah dengan rakyat.
