Review A-G appointment process, says Syahredzan

Bangi MP says the relevant laws should be amended to curb political considerations in the appointment after the Tabung Haji fiasco.

Review A-G appointment process, says Syahredzan

DAP vice-chairman Syahredzan Johan has urged the government to review the appointment process for the auditor-general (A-G) in light of recent controversies. Johan believes strict requirements should be put in place to ensure only capable and credible individuals are appointed to the position, especially to prevent political interference.

This comes following a royal commission of inquiry into the national audit department's handling of Tabung Haji's finances from 2014 to 2017, which found the department concealed the fund's true financial position.
