KJ’s excuses and denials - superadmin - 11-17-2022 A few days ago, Khairy Jamaluddin, the outgoing health minister, expressed a desire to win Sungei Buloh first, before eventually setting his sights on becoming a future prime minister of Malaysia. Among other things, he claimed that a 2016 scandal at the ministry of youth, involving RM107 million embezzled by a senior official, had been resolved. Was this reported in the news? Has the money been recovered? Most of us are not aware if any one has been punished, or held accountable. It is all very well saying that the embezzlement started before KJ’s time as minister. What is wrong with giving Malaysians the news they want to hear, instead of shifting the blame, yet again? This scandal, and many others like it, has not been satisfactorily explained to the general public. In March 2021, when he was the minister of science, technology, and innovation, KJ was voted the best performing minister in the Perikatan National cabinet.
