KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — Khairy Jamaluddin said today that Datuk Ibrahim Ali did not have the right to ask him to resign after he defended MCA Youth Chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.

“This is because Khairy as the Umno Youth Chief is one of the first Member of Parliament to object to the proposal to downsize the number of JPA scholarships for Malaysian students who want to pursue their studies overseas.

“Downsizing of scholarships for overseas studies would have a big impact on the opportunities for Malay and Bumiputera students to continue their studies, especially those who are truly excellent,” he said.

Yesterday Khairy had slammed Ibrahim for calling Wee “biadap” and for accusing the deputy education minister of questioning the social contract.

Khairy added that he had listened to the recording of Wee’s statement and found that the latter had not questioned the social contract.

Instead Khairy called the Perkasa president a “jaguh kampung,” or small-timer.

“He (Ibrahim) is a jaguh kampung in a world of globalisation. Which era is he in? He has become a hindrance to the concept of 1 Malaysia,” the Umno Youth Chief said in a posting on Twitter today.

According to Khairy, the message was part of an explaination that he provided when asked by reporters in Kuala Kedah.

The Barisan Nasional Youth Chief added that Ibrahim did not have the right to ask him to resign because he was not a “voter from Rembau and was not even an Umno party member.”

Yesterday Ibrahim asked Khairy to resign as Rembau MP for compromising Malay interests in defending the MCA Youth chief.

The independent Pasir Mas MP claimed that the Umno Youth chief had failed to understand Wee’s remarks on Mara scholarships.

“That is why Perkasa is upset. How can Mara be equated with JPA. Mara is only for Malays. JPA is for all. If both are the same what would happen to Malay special rights,” said Ibrahim.

“If Khairy could not understand Ka Siong’s hint he should quit,” said Ibrahim.

Last week, Wee reportedly asked if the Mara scholarship programme for Bumiputera students would be scrapped together with the Public Service Department (PSD) scholarships.

“If the government is only doing away with the PSD scholarships but retain the Mara scholarships, this will not be in line with the 1 Malaysia concept that the government is promoting,” he was quoted as saying.

Wee made the statement in response to the government’s decision to scrap the 1,500 PSD scholarships.

The deputy education minister had yesterday dismissed accusations that he was questioning the special position of the Malays and managed to get Khairy to defend him.

Ibrahim said this was the first time an Umno Youth chief had set aside the interests of the Malays.

Yesterday, Umno Youth Information Chief Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican described Ibrahim’s demand as unreasonable and said that the question of compromising Malay interests did not arise.
