ISKANDAR PUTERI (Aug 8): Rembau Member of Parliament Khairy Jamaluddin said today that he would continue serving the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government led by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, pending the determination of its legitimacy in Parliament next month. For UMNO, I am an UMNO minister. “I’m still in the government because I have a trust issue with the UMNO president (Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi),” he told reporters at Iskandar Malaysia Studios here. Khairy, who is Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, attributed the trust issue to several actions taken by Ahmad Zahid. Khairy said there was also the issue of an audio recording of a conversation between the president and the opposition leader (Anwar), which was initially denied by Ahmad Zahid.
