FT Ministry urged to tighten vetting of government agency board members


Lee says during his stint in DBKL board, there was no stringent vetting of backgrounds of individuals appointed to government boards.

THE recent debacle concerning two bankrupt individuals being appointed to the board of two government agencies in Kuala Lumpur has raised questions on the vetting process and integrity of the board of government agencies.

Social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, who was a member of the DBKL advisory board for 16 years, said there was no stringent vetting of backgrounds of individuals appointed to the board during his time at City Hall.
