Khairy gives way to Tok Mat


KUALA LUMPUR: Khairy Jamaluddin is prepared to step aside and not defend his Rembau parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15) if Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan decides to stand there.

“The worst-case scenario is that I don’t contest; it’s fine. It’s okay, I’m alright,” the Health Minister told a press conference during the closing ceremony of Organ Donation Awareness Week here yesterday.
