Khairy reaches out to Netizens
PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin, who is contesting the Rembau parliamentary seat, has joined many other general election candidates in the political fray by entering cyberspace to reach out to voters.
Khairy’s website at www.rembau.net.my highlights his personal background, activities and thoughts, with news reports on his campaign trail activities in Rembau, including his daily campaign schedule and pictures.
In his introduction, Khairy stated that his website was a means for him to share his hopes, aspirations and goals.
“My website will show you who I am, what I believe in, what I stand for and what I actually say (as opposed to being taken out of context),” it added.
Among the other contents in the website were video-clips on his campaign trail and his explanation on various current issues, including his arguments against the opposition views on the fuel price issue.
Surfers can also write to him at khairy@rembau.net.
Umno Youth media relations officer Isa Nikmat said the movement had used the help of members and supporters to launch websites and blogs in support of Umno Youth when Internet usage became prevalent in the country by 2000.
Umno Youth has a website centred on the general election at www.sediagempur.net which presents arguments against opposition claims.
Khairy himself is reported to be involved in planning Umno’s Internet campaign strategy to widen the party’s appeal to more people.
Isa said most of the “cyber troopers” might not necessarily be Umno Youth members or working for the party, but they were supporters who want to give the party’s viewpoints through the Internet.
