Politicians must stay out of GLCs


I REFER to the report “‘We are not ruling out appointing politicians’” (The Star, Jan 9) which quoted the Economic Affairs Minister that Pakatan Harapan may appoint politicians “at top positions in government-linked companies and development agencies” if they have the right qualifications. This presumably means they may be appointed as chairmen and board members of GLCs and statutory agencies.

The minister also said he is waiting for proposals for appointing the CEO of FGV Holdings Berhad. It appears that he will make the decision on who should be appointed to this CEO position.
