PETALING JAYA: It is unfair for the Opposition to feed false information to the public just to win votes in the general election, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said.

"For example, he (Opposition chief Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) defamed Felda, saying the organisation was bankrupt," Khairy said.

He added that the PKR adviser reacted in such a way because he was jealous with Barisan Nasional's success over the past 50 years.

Khairy also condemned the Pakatan Rakyat administration in Selangor, saying that Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim failed to manage the resources well, putting the state at the risk of facing a water shortage by 2014.

"I am not afraid to be sued for my comments as long as my message is heard by the public," Khairy said after officiating at a gotong royong programme in Taman Desa Ria.

He admitted that Barisan had faced some problems during the 2008 general election but had strengthened itself.

Khairy urged the public to vote wisely in the next general election so as not to face such problems again.

Earlier, Khairy said the gotong royong was a good way to get to know the people and their problems.

A booth set up by the Election Commission registered 450 new voters.

Khairy said the ruling coalition had registered 53,000 new voters since early this year.

Khairy, together with Kelana Jaya Umno Youth division chief Ahmad Affandi Hamzah, donated foodstuff to 10 families in the area.
