aiii.. toyo, takkan takdak angin pokok bergoyang..
KUALA LUMPUR: Vanquished contender for the Umno Youth chief’s post, Datuk Seri Mohamad Khir Toyo, has attributed his loss to the bad publicity that he received over the issue of the Wives of Selangor Assemblymen and MPs Welfare and Charity Organisation (Balkis).
Dr Khir said there were delegates who had changed their minds and voted for his fellow contenders after hearing of the Pakatan Rakyat state government’s continuous claims that Balkis had misused funds meant for charity and welfare when the state was under Barisan Nasional.
The state government had also claimed that Dr Khir, who was then the Mentri Besar, and his wife Datin Seri Zahrah Kechik, the then Balkis chairman, were involved in the misuse of the funds.
“Even though I have been investigated and cleared by the police, the state government’s raising of the issue during the recent state assembly sitting caused confusion among some of the delegates,” he told reporters.
Dr Khir, however, said that he accepted his loss as a decision made by the delegates and congratulated Khairy Jamaluddin on being elected the new Umno Youth chief. He said it was now time to move on and hoped that Khairy would work hard and bring about changes and improvements he had promised during the campaign for the Umno elections.
