Separating KJ from Khairy - A Split Personality?


Split Personality Disorder or formerly known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

Now what is the catch? Last few days KJ official website Rembau Net published an article entitled Separating KJ from Khairy. As usual, this article is redproduced at setiakawan blog pages. The article was taken from The Star, where KJ or Khairy (I’m not sure which one) had an interview session with Star daily.

Here are the first two paragraphs from the article:
The Umno Youth deputy chief wants to clear misconceptions stemming from ‘KJ the caricature, the larger than life image’ and has gone down to the grassroots to prove his mettle in politics.

Admitting that he is a naturally shy and strange politician, Khairy Jamaluddin is, nevertheless, determined to correct misconceptions perpetuated about him in the last three years.

It seems that we have two persons with different personalities; a larger than life KJ and a naturally shy politician Khairy. But these two persons are actually one Khairy Jamaluddin. Correct me if I’m wrong, but does it sound like a mental disorder mentioned above?

I like to invite my dear viewers to go through a few Q&As and then to decide for yourself whether Khairy Jamaluddin the son-in-law really has split personality disorder.

The Star:
You have been touted as the richest unemployed young man in the country. Is this true? How do you finance your campaign?


KJ or Khairy:
That label was used by Lim Kit Siang in Parliament, to ridicule me. It is an unfair comment. I run a very personalised campaign. I do not spend much, except to travel to meet people. The regulations for money politics are very clear, very stringent.


The Darker Side:
That is definitely Khairy doing the talking. The richest unemployed young man is KJ as seen in the picture below.



The Star:
There are claims that you only managed to secure the required number of nominations due to money politics and because of that, the longer campaign period will be to your advantage.

KJ or Khairy:
We cannot condone political corruption. Yes, the longer campaign period can be an advantage to me because I will have more time to explain the misconceptions about me.

The Darker Side:
This sounds like KJ talking on behalf of Khairy. The latter has been given four years to prove his potential and ability, but sadly Khairy has become a liability.


The Star:
During the recent division meetings, you claimed of having been a victim of manipulation. Can you be more specific?


KJ or Khairy:
Some people in Umno have dedicated themselves to demonizing me, smearing my character in the last thee years. I have to go out to correct this negative perception.

The Darker Side:
Now he is playing KJ because “me” refers to the demonized one. However I’m curious, who are the some UMNO people? Not me, I never registered as UMNO member.

See mummy, they are demonizing me
The Star:
For so long you have been accused of being the power behind the Prime Minister. Do you take any responsibility for this perception?

KJ or Khairy:
No, because that is not true. I am saddened and disappointed with that perception. Pak Lah has been in politics for a very long time. He did not make his decisions based on what people tell him. And I never once sought to influence him. Of course, sometimes he would ask what I thought of certain things, but that is that.

The darker Side:
That is definitely Khairy doing the talking. The one who is controlling an army of Dollah’s advisors at fourth floor is KJ, the mythical figure.

Mythical figure or trouble maker?

The Star:
You are educated and very articulate, but you seem quite awkward at socialising with Umno grassroots. Are you a shy person?

KJ or Khairy:
If you give me a microphone and a thousand people, it is a different thing altogether. I am very quick to warm up to people, and do not have problems interacting with them.

The Darker Side:
That does not sound like KJ or Khairy either, but it sounds more like Hitler, probably the third personality which may surface later. HAIL son-in-law!


It seems that according to Khairy, KJ is mythically an evil figure created by some UMNO people and the myth has somehow tainted the image of naturally shy and innocent son-in-law. Will you buy this nonsense my dear viewers? Or it is just another SPLIT PERSONALITY DISORDER.
