Sabah Umno Youth backing for Khairy

Its head Datuk Japlin Akim said Khairy, who is the movement's vice-chief, had shown his leadership qualities that could appeal to the youths and help fulfil their aspirations.

Japlin, who is also Sabah Infrastructure Development Assistant Minister, said Khairy was also known as a knowledgeable and courageous leader, who was vocal in championing the rights and interests of youths.

"He is very friendly with the Sabah Umno Youth members who see no problem in voicing out their problems and needs.

"I believe that Khairy will be able to open the minds of youths towards achieving the national vision through solidarity as contained in the guideline to build camaraderie that he had outlined." he said.

Khairy had outlined three aspects of camaraderie to strengthen Umno Youth at all levels and to forge closer relations with BN Youth as well as with youths in general and non-governmental organisations run by youths. -- Bernama
