KUALA LUMPUR: Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin says he will not contest the upcoming general election (GE15) in the event he is not given a constituency.
“I was (recently) sent a message by Mohamad (Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan) to get out of the way,” he told reporters at a press conference.
“I’ll follow what Umno wants and where they want me to contest. It’s okay. I just haven’t received any instructions. I’d feel embarrassed to trespass into other areas.
“It’s okay. Worst-case scenario, I won’t contest,” said Khairy, who has held the Rembau parliamentary seat since 2008.
Mohamad, who is also the Barisan Nasional deputy chairman, yesterday said he intends to contest a parliamentary seat at GE15 so that he has a role at the federal level.
The former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar, who has held the Rantau state seat since 2004, did not say which parliamentary seat he intended to contest.
Rantau is one of four state seats under the Rembau parliamentary constituency.

In UMNO, if a person is identified as good PM potential, as well as having ambition to be future PM , that is a kiss of death.. because like a greased pole contest, the others will pull you down, especially the incumbent and those who consider themselves next in line...
