Selcat to remain as it is, says MB
SHAH ALAM: The procedures and membership of the Selangor’s special Select Committee for Competency, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) remain unchanged for the time being, said Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.
He said this was decided at a two-hour meeting between him, state executive councillors including state PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Hasan Ali, Speaker Teng Chang Khim, district officers, municipal council presidents, assemblymen and Members of Parliament.
“We had reached a consensus that the issue will be resolved among us and we will take appropriate measures in conducting Selcat’s public hearing as it is accountable,” he told reporters after chairing the meeting at the state secretariat here yesterday.
Khalid said the meeting noted feedbacks and criticisms on the need to improve communications between Selcat panel members and government officers.
“There will be no revamp and Selcat will remain as it is, as had been decided in the state assembly,” he said, adding that any changes in Selcat’s status quo would be debated in the state assembly and not openly.
Meanwhile, Dr Hasan, who had been at the centre of controversy for criticising Selcat, said he accepted the decision but declined to comment. — Bernama
Tan Seri Khalid should determine if the Selangor rakyat welcome the Selcat’s operations so far or not.
The Selangor state government is voted in by the people of Selangor, not an ex-BTN Dr. who changes his mind ever so often and thus far projected a negative image of himself and represent a liability to Pakatan Rakyat.
Hassan Ali’s comment that
1) protect civil servants
2) protect Malays
augurs well with the BN administration that was booted out.
For decades, public interest and right to know has been disrespected and mocked. Now the tide has turn, do we want to revert back to the bad old ways?
How many of us have been victimsed by civil servants who are arrogant, insensitive, lazy, brainless, slow, absent, corrupt, shameless or whatever.
In private sector, we have laws that enable domestic inquiry to ensure errant staff have undergone due processes to rectify short comings or justify a dismissal decision. There should not be any different for administrators’ of public trust and money
the 2 arguments put forward by Hassan Ali is by all counts – racist, feudalistic, inconsistent with teaching of all religion and commonsense and have no place in an efficient and people-oriented administration.
why is Hassan Ali appearing to be indispensible? Pakatan Rakayt can hold a referendum in Selangor to detremine his fate. Come think of it, the Fairuz episode was handled much better.
keep up the good work YB,they should kick the trojan horse out (hippocrite)
NO NEED TO REVAMP SELCAT.
IT’S ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY.
I HAVE WATCHED THE PROCEEDINGS ON YOUTUBE. THERE WAS NO BULLYING.
IF YOUR BOSS QUESTIONS ABOUT SOMETHING? IS THAT BULLYING?
BODOH PUNYA UMNO! BAHLOL! KURANG AJAR!
HASSAN ALI MUST REPENT OF HIS WAYWARDNESS.
SELCAT WILL GO ON! SELCAT REPRESENTS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, AND COME THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTIONS, PAKATAN RAKYAT WILL GET THE PEOPLE TO TEACH BN A LESSON THEY’LL NEVER FORGET.
The SELCAT remains!
No ifs. No buts!
Nobody fears SELCAT except the slimy creatures in the BN!
They will do their worst to derail it because they are on the receiving end due their scams.
