I BELIEVE there was a statement from the Perikatan Nasional side that in nominating the candidates for chairmanship positions in GLCs and statutory bodies, the new government has followed due process in evaluating their suitability according to the “fit and proper” criteria.
After that, their names were proposed to the boards of the respective GLCs for them to carry out their own assessment and scrutiny before accepting the nominations. Thus, effectively, when the appointments are made, they are actually the decision of the GLC boards themselves in line with the principles of good corporate governance.
