Khairy says not defending Rembau in GE15, giving way to Tok Mat


KUALA LUMPUR: Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin may not contest in the 15th general election if Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan decides to run in the Rembau parliamentary seat.

"The worst-case scenario is that I don't contest, it's fine. It's okay, I'm alright," said Khairy during a press conference during the closing ceremony of the Organ Donation Awareness week on Sunday (Sept 4).
