The Unity Government will not appoint any individual who is unable to contribute to the government organisation or agency they lead, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said that all appointments are made based on Cabinet guidelines and on the advice of the Prime Minister. "Don’t view it as just because someone has a political position, especially MPs or assemblymen….their background, credentials and experience are also taken into account.
On the appointment of Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki as Majlis Amanah Rakyat chairman, he said it was based on the Umno secretary-general’s expertise, experience and credentials. Ahmad Zahid said Asyraf was not only a politician but a banker with expertise in Islamic banking."It’s a waste to have such experience and credentials, but we don't use it to develop Mara together. With the appointment, we hope that he will, together with my ministry’s staff, be able to develop Mara,” he said.
