The former Umno Youth chief, who was ousted over “violating party discipline” after 23 years with the party, said he would like to have the privilege of leading the country some day.
“How I will get there I do not know but I want to ensure the decisions I make in the next few months are based on a vision of a country I am happy and comfortable with.” Mr Khairy also said he still considered Umno president Zahid Hamidi as a friend despite the circumstances.Mr Khairy said he would take his time contemplating his future in politics and confirmed there have been a slew of offers coming in since he failed to win the Sungai Buloh parliamentary seat in last November’s General Election and now after his Umno sacking.
“State elections that will need to take place in the next six months is an option or I can give it a miss and focus on business opportunities as well.“It is difficult for me to move on as far as my own heart is concerned as I did not leave, I was thrown out, sacked from the party. I need to adjust to that reality and if I choose another vehicle, I have to do so carefully.
