Promise 22 of the Buku Harapan pledges to appoint GLC board members based on merit and professionalism, not politics. Yet, politicians affiliated to the Pakatan Harapan are now appointed left and right into top positions in GLCs. Leaders who had in the past given their words to ensure clean governance of GLCs are quickly backtracking, notably Economic Minister Azmin Ali, who himself was named director of Khazanah Nasional previously.
Unless something is done, the lionised new government of new Malaysia is quickly spiraling back into the cesspit of Dr. Mahathir's cronyism.
