IT is both disappointing and ironic that, in a time when we should be celebrating the institutional strength of independent audit and accountability, the appointment of Auditor-General Datuk Wan Suraya Wan Radzi has come under fire from some politicians – not for failing in her duties, but for excelling at them while refusing to play political cheerleader.
To suggest that her appointment is “tainted” simply because she is a civil servant is both legally unfounded and ethically disingenuous.
