Khairy Says His Opponent Is Contesting Only For Fame

SEREMBAN, Feb 25 Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in Rembau parliamentary seat Khairy Jamaluddin says his opponent Badrul Hisham Shaharin is only interested in seeking fame and political heroism.
He said Badrul Hisham, the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) supreme councillor, was not sincere in fighting for the people.
He said this when asked to comment on a statement by Badrul Hisham, 30, who said that he would contest against Khairy wherever the Umno Youth deputy chief might contest.
"I'm saddenned by this. The democratic process should be an avenue to fight for the people and not for other purpose," he told Bernama after attending a meet-the-people session in Kampung Ulu Lalang, in Rantau near here.
Also present was Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan, the incumbent assemblyman for Rantau. Mohamad is locked in a straight fight with PKR's Aisah Lamsah for the state seat.
Khairy, 32, who is also BN Youth deputy chairman and Rembau Umno Youth chief said he would not entertain personal attacks by his opponent.
He said he would work hard in the area eventhough Rembau was considered a safe seat for the BN.
"I will not follow the style of the opposition who campaign only at night," he said.
Khairy also said as a new candidate he welcomed guidance from others who were more experienced, including leaders, village heads and people's representatives.
Rembau has 62,896 voters comprising 68.9 per cent Malay voters, 15.2 per cent (Chinese), 15.8 per cent (Indian) and others (0.07 per cent), including 894 postal voters.
