BN will win cheers but lose power, says Khairy


Absolute loyalty is outdated and it is wrong to force civil servants to support the ruling Barisan Nasional, said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Noting that his view would not be accepted by the "conservatives", he pointed out there is no point in demanding support when it is just a charade that would not translate into votes.

"I don't force anyone to support my party. Yes, of course, I would want them to support my party, but it is better for them to support it voluntarily.

"What is the use of asking them to cheer and brandish banners of support if it is all just an act?" he asked in a Facebook posting.

He added that if that was the case, come the next election, BN would win in terms of cheers but lose the government.

"If we do our job properly, I am confident they will view us in a positive light. That is the right way, not by forcing people which will not yield true support," he added.

The minister, who is also Umno Youth chief, was explaining his statement yesterday as reported by Astro Awani that he had no qualms hiring Pakatan Rakyat supporters if they are capable.

Stressing that civil servants should uphold ethics and adhere to all the necessary rules, he argued that they should not be judged based on their political alignment.

"I am sure many will say I am promoting 'enemies within' (musuh dalam selimut). Please don't be so shallow.

"Action can be taken against civil servants who leak information or bring their political alignments to the office.

"But for the professional ones, we should not be too quick in judging and labelling them," he added.

The Rembau MP also said that as a minister, he could not force everyone in his ministry to support him.

"We have to respect civil servants as professionals. Some think that civil servants must support our party, that if they don't support the party, they should not be allowed to progress in their profession.

"I think that is unfair to the civil servants. We must support their impartiality," he added.
