Nothing legally wrong with MPs holding GLC posts, say experts

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is allegedly buying loyalty by awarding Perikatan Nasional backbenchers with plum posts in government agencies. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, June 5, 2020.

THERE is nothing unconstitutional or illegal about lawmakers holding concurrent positions in government-linked companies or statutory bodies, said legal experts. They said the misconception over this issue could be due to a misreading of the federal constitution and the rules and regulations governing the individual GLCs and statutory bodies.

Legally right doesn’t mean morally correct.

Yeap nt legally wrong if they really qualify n desrved .. Nt entice or bribe them… nt ethical

Those experts also not so expert. How to trust them?

No ethics no integrity

Bagi kt anak beranak mu pun legally right.

Sembang

It is NOT about legality. It is about governance.

Same expert ke?

There is no better test of a man's integrity than his behavior when he is wrong.

Kalau letak Apek tukang besi pun not legally wrong so long that Apek tu boleh baca dan tau 1 + 1=2. Rakyat la nganga dpt makan tulang2 cebisan muntah org politik.

Tak salah memegang posisi GLC, tapi salah diberi untuk semata2 memegang kerajaan dan membeli kepercayaan ahli dewan rakyat. Inilah dipanggil berpusing utk menipu rakyat.

Berita sampah, memang la tak salah undang2, kangkong mana yg kata salah, it is morally wrong kerana membuka kepada risiko rasuah politik,

The same old thing from both sides..😫

expert in swindling is a norm in any counties in the world.

Who is the experts ? Members of political parties ?😷

The expert must be good in cooking story with paid dedak

A Minister's role is already very expansive and taxing for an individual. So, how can they spare time to devote to leading a GLC? The GLC is better off having a dedicated professional who can devote time and energy to strategize the way forward.

Morally?

OK

But is it morally right? Using the people’s/taxpayers money for personal gains of certain elite groups while majority of the people are suffering now? chedetofficial anwaribrahim syahredzan SyedSaddiq hannahyeoh guanenglim limkitsiang MSabu_Official

It's not about salah or not. It's about treating ur MP position n job so cheap, that it's like it is just a title and not work. That you have all the free time in the world to assume another position. These r our policy makers who draw our future. Disgraceful.

Unethical only especially those not qualify. You can hold but accept zero salary.
