KJ: Unlike Boboi, I persevered despite being in cold storage

UMNO AGM Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin today claimed he had never asked anything for himself, nor had he ever been the recipient of dedak (animal feed).

In his wrap-up speech at the Umno annual general assembly today, Khairy pointed out how despite not holding any positions in the government, he had raised various issues during his first term as Umno Youth chief.

“I won and became Umno Youth chief but I was put in cold storage.

“Boboi who lost was appointed a deputy minister but I wasn’t disappointed, I istiqamah (persevered) with the president,” said Khairy.

Although he was accused of being “bad” compared to the “pitiful face” of Boboi, Khairy pointed out to today’s situation – he is still together with the party president.

It was believed that Boboi here referred to former Kedah menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir. Umno leaders and delegates had been referring to Mukhriz by the nickname at the general assembly.

This was an apparent ridicule against Mukhriz who they claimed was given various posts previously due to his father’s influence.
