KLANG: Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaludin has refuted allegations by the Opposition that the movement practises racism.
“I don’t understand how the accusation come about – calling us racist. In fact, Umno always emphasises on the power-sharing concept and history has proven it.
First of all, the very name of this organization (United MALAY National Organization) is already a racist one, because this organization only caters for one ethnic race. Countless times, we come across news concerning this organization that simply borders on sedition and outright arrogance.
“Ijok is a good example, where an Indian candidate was nominated despite a Malay majority in the constituency. This had been repeated in many other constituencies.
“How can we be racist, when we are defending equality?” he asked after opening the Kapar Umno division youth delegates meeting here yesterday.
For a racist political party that always asks others not to "play with fire", I wonder how can KJ come to the conclusion that they are defending equality?!
BLA BLA BLA!

KUALA KANGSAR: Umno Youth has labelled Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim – who was once head of the movement – a traitor to the Malay cause.
In making the declaration, Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaludin said: “The (coming) general elections is not about politics but the future of the Malays.”
To KJ, it's always about the Malays and nothing else. Look how a democratic process (elections) is being twisted and manipulated into a political weapon!
“Anwar is a puppet of the United States and the Jews, thus he must be hounded until there is no more place for him to run to,” he told a state Umno Youth gathering on Wednesday night.
More baseless allegations coming from this influential SIL. And look at the arrogant tone he's using: "hounded until there is no more place for him to run to"!
Among the 5,000 people present were the wing’s former chief Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Deputy Information Minister, and Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohd Tajol Rosli Ghazali.
Khairy said the movement was angered by Anwar’s persistence in wanting to do away with the New Economic Policy, a cause close to the hearts of the Malays.
“He wanted to abolish it simply because he wanted to win the support of the non-Malays,” he said.
And therefore UMNO wants to keep the NEP to win the support of the Malays. What is new? YAWN!
In Kuala Lumpur yesterday, Khairy said there should be no more statements from any Barisan Nasional component party leaders concerning demands for extra seats for the parties.
He said the coalition’s success was based on the power-sharing consensus formula, which will be maintained.
“Umno Youth will not accept threats from the component parties that they will leave the Barisan if they fail to get additional seats,” he said, in an apparent reference to the People’s Progressive Party’s request for more seats in the coming general election,
“That’s unfair and it’s not the Barisan style. We always share and discuss, and we make compromises.
“We hope there will not be any such talk from the component parties,” he told reporters after chairing a meeting on preparations for a Merdeka Day youth gathering.
Who the hell is this KJ to threaten and command the leaders of the BN component parties? For hecks sake, he's just the deputy chief of a Youth wing of the ruling party, not even a full-fledged component party. But then again, he's the SIL. Anything is possible!
BLA BLA BLA!
