KUCHING: The appointment of Khairy Jamaluddin as Youth and Sports Minister, which was announced recently by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, is appropriate as it fulfils the youth’s aspirations of a young, capable and proactive minister to run the ministry.
“Khairy, UMNO Youth Chairman, is a young and capable leader. He is also energetic and charismatic and his appointment will attract more youth to be involved in the government youth-related programmes,” said Assistant Minister of Youth Development Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
Karim, who is also the chairman of Sarawak Bumiputera Entrepreneurs’ Chamber (DUBS), said this to reporters after officiating DUBS Kuching Branch’s annual general meeting (AGM) held at the State Youth and Sports Complex Auditorium in Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce here yesterday morning.
On his hopes of furthering collaboration between the state and federal youth and sports ministries, he said having known Khairy personally, he was confident that much could be done to upgrade and transform the state’s youth and sports agenda.
“I believe that both state and federal levels can work together for the betterment of youth and sports in the country,” he said, adding that Khairy himself loves sports very much.
More than 35 members attended the DUBS Kuching Branch AGM, including its President Datu Abang Helmi Ikhwan
