  • 9 years ago
Rembau parliamentarian Khairy Jamaluddin stood up to defend his colleague MCA Youth chief Wee Ka Siong, after Independent Pasir Mas MP and controversial Malay leader Ibrahim Ali attacked the latter.

The Perkasa president (right), during a press conference at the parliament lobby, had hit out at Wee over his statement last week urging the government to maintain the Public Service Department (PSD) scholarships.
