In whose interest/agenda should the person appointed to head a Government position be?

First, it was former Gerakan (a BN component party) Secretary-General, Mr Lee Kah Choon who made a drastic decision to resign and take up posts in InvestPenang and Penang Development Corporation (PDC) amidst show-cause letter from his former party which ended up irrelevant.

The second was to follow and here, Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong, Federal Territory Gerakan Chief had taken up position as co-chairman of Selangor's special task force on land issues. He was also issued show cause letter and a likely resignation letter would come from him to save everyone's precious time.

As to why some posts in the state committees are offered to UMNO Assemblymen is explained here.

The latest call was by Tourism Minister Datuk Azalina Othman and Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir to resign as Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Chairman here. In whose interest/agenda should the person appointed to head SIC be? UMNO, Malaysian Government or fulfil some other political agendas?

It looks like UMNO politics do mix with Government decisions in Malaysia! How could Malaysia prosper when party politics are not totally detached from matters concerning the administration of the country.

This is where the BN Government namely UMNO had got their priorities wrong in naming the right candidate to manage the Government bodies or GLC e,g, Proton. The mandate given by the prople of Malaysia to the Government was for good governance, accountability and responsibility of the mandate given to ensure the country sustained development, economic growth and Malaysians stay united.

BN priority was very obvious to safeguard the party and interest of certain individuals. This raised questions of transparency in the Government which is totally unacceptable to the people of Malaysia which in the present political scenario and did not go down well with Malaysians as reflected in the 12th GE results. It further adds the question of credibility of candidate(s) appointed by the Government as to whether he/she is just a proxy or another "order taker" living on a (public funded) "fat" salary.

What the opposition held State Governments had done to offer capable and trustworthy past/present BN component party leaders positions in the State Government is highly commendable. The individuals whom took-up the offers had only the Malaysian people interest in mind. It left to wonder as to how long will BN led Government maintain such "mediocre" state of mind instead of appointing non-political affiliated individuals to lead the GLCs where such companies are tainted with incapable and corrupted leadership.

It left to wonder as to why Malaysia had not actually progress much compared to the tiny red dot south of Peninsular Malaysia either. Such facts and leadership quality stinks right to the core, which is visible to the world to decide the capability of Malaysia ruling leaders mentality.

With UMNO leaders being kept busy till party elections in December 2008, we can expect the country to be administered in such manner of nearly a non-existence Ministers. Oh, why had some Malaysians voted these incapable leaders to lead the country!
