KUALA LUMPUR: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called for a set of criteria to be outlined before a person can be appointed to a position which carries a ministerial rank.
Without such criteria, these appointments could be construed as a form of bribery to support the government, the former prime minister said.
Mahathir said that there has been a recent trend which saw many being appointed to specific posts with ministerial rank and accorded the same benefits.
“Yet, there is no criteria on how a ministerial rank was given.
“This a kind of bribery as the focus won’t be on the responsibilities the individual is supposed to carry out, but on what the individual is set to receive,” he said when debating the King’s speech. — Free Malaysia Today
