Khairy Jamaluddin has come to the defence of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak following the attacks from former senator and deputy minister P Waythamoorthy.
The Umno Youth chief said it was unfair for Waythamoorthy to blame the prime minister for the Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia (PHM) chief’s failures to effect changes.
“He was not a team player and wasn’t effective in advocating his cause,” said Khairy in a series of Twitterpostings (left) today.
The sports and youth minister also claimed that Waythamoorthy had demanded that all government allocation for the Indian community be parked under the latter’s discretion.
“That’s not how the government operates. Waythamoorthy wanted to control the money, bypassing ministries and agencies.
“When he didn’t get this, he quit and blames the PM,” Khairy tweeted.
Waythamoorthy, who courted flak when he inked a pact with BN prior to the last general election, was later appointed senator and deputy minister.
However, he quit all his posts last week, claiming that the government refused to implement socio-economic changes to aid the Indian poor.
At a press conference this morning, Waythamoorthy (right) called Najib a liar and accused him of betraying the Indian community.
He then urged the prime minister to step down while vowing that the latter’s betrayal will not be forgotten for generations to come.
When Waythamoorthy inked an agreement with Najib, the PHM leader himself was accused of having shortchanged the Indian community, drawing criticism even from supporters.
In a letter of apology issued yesterday, Waythamoorthy said that he had been under the impression that his department would be allocated the funds to implement the programmes.
