Neelofa, during the press conference, thanked Khairy for the appointment and said she was positive that she could help in promoting TN50 to her followers, especially through the social media.
"I will work hard to reach out to the youths especially and help create a better Malaysia in the future," said the celebrity who has 4.7 million followers on Instagram alone.
During the press conference, Khairy said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was expected to launch "TN50 - Circle of the Future" on May 26 where the collected feedback would be discussed and chosen by specialists in making it as the national aspiration.
