00:00Former UMNO leaders Khairi Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan have fired back at Youth and

00:06Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh, defending their call for her not to pass the buck over Malaysia's

00:12Olympics performance.

00:14In Instagram posts, the co-hosts of the Keluasa Kujab podcast said their comments about Yeoh

00:20were milder than remarks made about others.

00:23They took issue with Yeoh calling it distasteful for massage chair brand Jintel to sponsor

00:28their podcast and her claim that the pair implied she should interfere in the Olympic

00:33Council of Malaysia's affairs despite its autonomy.

00:37Shahril said Yeoh should have addressed their relatively mild comments substantively if

00:42she had a problem with them.

00:45Khairi said Yeoh should have responded directly to him and Shahril rather than involving Jintel,

00:50adding that she should not be so petty and thin-skinned.

00:54The tiff between them started when Khairi said Yeoh should be more proactive and dare

00:58to take on prominent figures in national sporting associations instead of passing the buck.

01:05He cited a Facebook post by Yeoh where she said one of her goals as minister was to place

01:10the right people in the right positions, but that she did not have the authority to remove

01:14those holding posts elected by others.
