Scrap Tajuddin’s appointment as envoy, MP urges PM

PETALING JAYA: A DAP MP has urged Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to scrap controversial MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s appointment as Malaysia’s ambassador to Indonesia, saying he lacks the necessary diplomatic skills needed for the job.

Bukit Bendera MP Wong Hon Wai said Tajuddin had proven he was unfit for the role of ambassador following a press conference he held yesterday as well as his conduct in Parliament previously.

“The role of public officials should be based on eligibility, experience and suitability of character, instead of political considerations,” he said.

Wong said the prime minister should not use his position to please those who supported him and yet were unsuitable for the role.
