Khairy: Umno Youth will organise a gathering on July 9 to strengthen the democratic system.
KUALA
LUMPUR, June 16 — Umno Youth will organise a gathering on July 9 to “
strengthen the democratic system” and rival electoral reform group
Bersih 2.0’s rally on the same day.
Its chief Khairy Jamaluddin said it won’t join the Bersih rally,
which is also facing a counter-protest by Malay rights group Perkasa.
“Umno Youth will organise a gathering on July 9 to strengthen the
democratic system. Won’t join Bersih because they have opposition
agenda,” the Rembau MP wrote in his Twitter microblogging account.
He had earlier chaired an Umno Youth council meeting today.
Police have said it won’t issue permits for any rally in the city on
that day, when a rock concert featuring Sweet Charity and Blues Gang
will be held later that night.
