Khairy, who is also the Youth and Sports Minister also described the PPS as dangerous and added that the group has taken over the task of police in the state.
“This is dangerous, I saw pictures of the Penang chief minister with a purple vest, there were ranks. But (they are) not registered,” he was quoted by Malaysiakini.
