Don't appoint politicians to GLCs, Rafizi tells BN, Harapan

PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli has urged both BN and Pakatan Harapan not to appoint politicians to government-linked companies (GLC).

He said this after backing former Bank Negara assistant governor Latifah Merican Cheong's suggestion that Felda and 1MDB, both government-linked entities, should be placed under the oversight of Parliament.

Rafizi, who elaborated at length on how Parliament can ensure only those who are truly qualified, instead of politicians, are appointed to GLCs, conceded that the appointment of politicians was still being practised in Harapan states.

"I will write official letters as an MP to Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to consider my position (on not appointing politicians to GLCs) in Selangor and Penang," said Rafizi in a statement today.
