KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Khairy Jamaluddin has reminded PKR critics who condemned Negeri Sembilan Umno’s move to declare no confidence in Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun of the 2008 attempt to topple the federal government.Khairy hit back at those accusing Umno of engaging in “backdoor” or tebuk atap politics by capitalising on a crisis to stage a coup.He suggested they revisit then opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s bid to bring down the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in 2008.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Negeri Sembilan Umno chief Jalaluddin Alias has denied claims that four of the party’s assemblypersons had made a U-turn to support Aminuddin as MB again.Speaking at a press conference in Seremban today, Jalaluddin said the claims were untrue and that there had been no change to their position.__________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
