Mukhriz Denies Going For UMNO Youth Chief Post



KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 (Bernama) -- UMNO Youth executive committee member Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir Monday denied having announced his intention to contest for the movement's top post as reported by an English language daily.
He said the news report with the heading, "Mukhriz may go for Youth chief post" implied that he would contest for the post which was not true.
"I feel that it's not the time yet for anyone including myself to make such an announcement as it would deviate from the focus right now, which is, preparing for the coming general election," he said in a statement issued here.
Mukhriz who is Umno Youth International Relations and Non-Governmental Organisations Bureau, said he would give full attention to helping the movement's head Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein in preparing for the general election which could be held anytime.

tunku: very well said dato mukhriz. not like some people already mentioning kayjay's name as the successor for hishamuddin. as for me, you're a better person to head the youth than mr kayjay.
