Former Johor menteri besar Khaled Nordin claimed that those making an issue out of his appointment as Yayasan Pasir Gudang (YPG) chairperson were merely trying to stir up trouble.

The Umno vice-president said that this was because he, in all honesty, did not have any problem with the certain quarters involved including former Johor menteri besar Osman Sapian who was the first to raise the issue.
