KJ slams Umno leaders for wanting polls during pandemic

PETALING JAYA: Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) has hit out at certain leaders in his own party, Umno, for asking to hold a general election amid the Covid-19 pandemic, saying it was “irresponsible”.

“Those calling for a general election before the pandemic is brought under control are irresponsible. I know some of those calling for a general election are from my own party. Don’t be selfish, ” he said on his Twitter account.
