PETALING JAYA: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul brushed off claims of nepotism should he appoint his son Iqbal as his aide, on grounds that he has the qualifications and the experience.
He said Iqbal had served as his aide since 2009. He has a bachelor’s degree in finance from Multimedia University Melaka, Berita Harian reported. “It is only nepotism if he lacked the qualifications or only had a diploma for a post that required a degree. Or if he was a fresh graduate appointed to a post that required a decade’s worth of experience,” he told Berita Harian.Johari said he was currently considering appointing Iqbal, who had been with him for 14 years.
Yesterday, Johari had denied claims that his son had been appointed a special officer to assist him in the Dewan Rakyat.Reports have been circulating online that Iqbal was appointed a Special Tasks Officer 1 to the Dewan Rakyat Speaker. The allegations were made by Perikatan Nasional member Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard.
