Have integrity, be honest with qualifications - deputy minister
Politicians should not be ashamed of their academic achievement but they should just be honest with their qualifications, said Penang PKR acting chairperson Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik.
Muhammad Bakhtiar, who is also deputy minister of tourism, arts and culture said politicians should emulate the character traits of people such as former deputy prime minister Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba who did not possess high qualifications.
"Personally I feel we need to have integrity and not be ashamed. Follow the footsteps of Tun Ghafar Baba. He was just a regular teacher with no academic degree," he told reporters after the Penang PKR Chinese New Year celebration in Georgetown today.
Muhammad Bakhtiar said this when asked to comment on the academic qualifications of Penang Bersatu chairperson Marzuki Yahya.
Marzuki is currently embroiled in a controversy over his academic credentials.
However on Marzuki’s appointment as deputy foreign minister and Bersatu’s secretary-general, Muhammad Bakhtiar said the appointments were not based on academic qualifications alone but also on one’s performance as an elected representative.
Meanwhile in Kulai, Johor PKR chairperson Hassan Karim urged Johor Menteri Besar Osman Sapian to come clean over allegations that his academic certificates were fake.
He said the issue had already affected the image of Pakatan Harapan which had promised reforms within its government’s leadership.
"Just come out with the truth because the people are interested to know,” he told reporters after a Chinese New Year Open House at Taman Putri Multipurpose Hall in Kulai today.

???Penang PKR acting chairperson Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik- Marzuki lied and he created himself a trust deficit to ALL righteous-minded Malaysians. For those Bersatu leaders who support Marzuki giving 1001 illogical reasons given show how unrighteous their hearts are supporting a sinner. God is the Spirit of Truth and these Marzuki’s supporters are NOT seeking the Truth but covering up the Truth of the condition of Marzuki’s soul. It reflects also the condition of their souls and all righteous-minded Malaysians will be cautious with people like Rina Mohd Harun (his excellent work performance - Marzuki may deceive others that he is pefomtning well when as a matter of fact he is NOT), Mukhriz (vast relevant experience - Marzuki may deceive others that he has vast relevant experience when in truth it is all bullshit), Tariq Ismail (hard working and humble - Marzuki may deceive others that he is seen to be hard working & humble but as a matter of fact he displays FALSE HUMILITY & he is a SLOTH) and the like. The issue is Marzuki LIED and so he is capable of lying - the condition of his soul.
