A visible year for Khairy


All-rounder minister: Khairy will be bringing an impressive report card to the Umno Youth assembly next month.

 Malaysia’s most happening politician Khairy Jamaluddin was a newsmaker this year, from his leading role in the SEA Games to his presence on social media where some fans call him ‘daddy’ and where his ‘flying f’ remark on Twitter is still talked about. 

KHAIRY Jamaluddin had several big moments at the last Umno general assembly when his party president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak singled him out for special mention, described him as an “Umno warrior” and challenged him to raise the bar.
