Azmin: Let people be the judge of performance of ministers | Malay MailKUALA LUMPUR, May 22 — The “rakyat” (people) can judge for themselves whether a minister, mentri besar or state executive councillor is performing or not, said Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali. He noted that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad himself had stated that... Menteri bos nya pm dan yang evaluate kerja mereka adalah pm. Rakyat jika evaluate menteri apabila pru nanti. Sebelum rakyat menilai elok lah pm yang menilai atau pm yang menilai. Rakyat menilai menteri BN pada pru14 dan hasil nya bn jadi pembangkang. chedetofficial AzminAli They.r already judging.

Let people judge performance of ministers, says AzminWhat is important is that there is a young and energetic team, with integrity and willingness to serve to rebuild Malaysia, he says. Yall failed. Time after time, I tweeted about this. I'm glad it's finally getting traction. Tun said the same thing a few weeks ago. If any Minister/CM/MB/senior government official start grading their own performance/their department's performance again, be prepared for unholy 'effing'!! Rakyat bukan tahu sangat apa yg menteri buat. Lagi2 aktiviti negatif menteri. AKJ pun tak sebut nama sesiapa walaupun mgkn dia tahu lebih byk. Eloklah yg individu2 berkenaan berundur atau diundurkan sebelum rakyat buat keputusan memecat kerajaan. AzminAli
