Khairy and Perkasa

 

My Comments:  I do not see how Khairy can benefit from continuing his feud with Perkasa.  Perkasa is not and should not be seen as an 'enemy' by Khairy.  He has nothing to gain from it and much to lose in term of his credentials as a Malay leader.  A sleeping tiger is much better not to be disturbed.

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin today asked the Home Ministry to investigate 'Suara Perkasa' over its front-page article which called for Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong to be
arrested under the Internal Security Act.
"I'm not doing this because I want to defend Ka Siong but this article is an incitement and is wrong, and should be investigated," he told reporters at the parliament lobby today.
The feud between Pertubuhan Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) president Datuk Ibrahim Ali and Wee began when Ibrahim said that the MCA Youth chief had questioned the social contract and did not respect the Federal Constitution pertaining to the issue of distribution of Public Service Department scholarships.
Khairy said fighting for Malay interests was not an issue but one should also not forget the interests of the other races.
"For me, BN and Umno must be seen to be inclusive. It's okay for Perkasa to fight for the Malays but I don't agree with the way it's done," he said.
Wee, who wondered why the scholarship issue was still raised when he had already given his explanation, said he would see whether he could take legal action against Suara Perkasa over the article.
