Talking of lightning speed, that’s how fast the Finance Ministry removed Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman as Prasarana Malaysia Bhd chairman. It was laughable that former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak thought it was up to Umnoto decide when Tajuddin should resign. It’s no secret that there are many more like him who gotplum jobs heading government-linked companies (GLCs) based on political expediency. Tajuddin’s self-inflicted implosion pulled the lid off such appointments, prompting Umno’s Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz to ask the Perikatan government to remove other “problematic” political appointees. Hopefully this time, it’s enough because we have the additional weapon of mass vaccinations which are finally shaping up well.
