Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar has refused to field questions from Malaysiakini and accused the news portal of being a “purveyor of one-sided journalism”.
At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today, a journalist from the online news portal attempted several times to pose questions to the minister, but the latter simply looked away.
“I'm not taking questions from you. I know where you are from, you are a purveyor of one-sided journalism. No questions from you. Next!” he said, finally breaking his silence.
Khairy was speaking at a press conference after Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak launched the Kumpulan Masa Depan TN50 (TN50 Future Group) at the same event, which is the second phase of the TN50 dialogue session that started on Jan 19.
Malaysiakini had intended to ask Khairy the following questions:
How much is the allocation to hold the TN50 dialogue sessions and events, and which ministry's budget is the funding coming from?

Would the government hold a TN50 townhall session with representatives from the opposition, as requested by PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli?

Whether the government would hold a TN50 dialog session with the media industry?
When a question similar to the first was asked by a reporter from another publication, Khairy replied he was unsure whether other ministries were also allocating their budgets for TN50-related activities.
