MALACCA: Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin says he wants to know who are behind the alleged conspiracy to topple the government.
"As a Member of Parliament, I am interested to know who are these individuals.
"I wouldn't associate myself with them if I know who they are," he said at a press conference after opening the Bukit Katil Umno AGM at Dewan Tun Ali on Sunday.
On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said a leading Umno figure was the mastermind in a plot to topple the government through a vote of no-confidence in Parliament, with the support of Opposition members.
On the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) asking for full disclosure on political funding, Khairy said he welcomed the move.
He also welcomed the Prime Minister’s announcement for a national consultative committee on political funding.
However, Khairy reiterated that the explanation on the RM2.6bil donation should be continued as the issue was a matter of interest among the grassroots.
Earlier, in his speech, Khairy said Umno grassroots should have the courage to voice their grouses to the party leadership.
"I am openly stating that we can't continue to be pak turut (yes men) and ignoring the fact that we are now in a serious debacle, we have to question the leadership.
"It's not my intention to rebel against the leadership or turning an enemy within the party but we should continue to champion Umno as the sole party for Malay Muslims and the country.
“We should find a solution how to wade this tidal wave before another tsunami hit us considering that the general election is another 30 months or so," he added
