Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS)Low Siew Moi, who was due for retirement, is a senior officer that has served the 44-year-old organisation as its deputy general manager (for corporate development) for the last 11 years. As such, she must have her strength and knows PKNS well enough to lead it albeit being just temporary until a more 'suitable' candidate is found.
What comes as a surprise is that there are people who felt offended with the appointment! They felt that it is an infringement of the Malay rights and it insults the Rulers! WHAT!? A Malaysian leading a Malaysian institution is an insult to the Sultans and Malays? You must be joking, pal! The Selangor Malays Residents Action Body led by its chairman Kamaruddin Raja Ab Wahid held a small demonstration outside the state secretariat building here to protest against the appointment. Plain stupid and shallow..... so colour of your skin determines what you can and cannot do. Heard of capability and meritocracy? Not helping, in fact trying to score some cheap points is the Former Menteri Besar Mohd Khir trying to fan the racial fan by critisizing Tan Sri Khalid. He said it was the Mentri Besar’s prerogative to choose a candidate but that it should have been done in consultation with officers.“Usually for a high post like this, the person must be a Malay. If I had done this (without consultation), then I would have been labelled as arrogant,” he said. So now Khalid is arrogant? I would rather have someone that's arrogant but fair than a racist... more so if he's a corrupt racist!
If these type mentality still exist, Vision 2020 will remain as just that. No wonder the much talked about JV between VW and Proton collapes. We're still so attached to the Ketuanan Mentality.
Until we embrace all Malaysians as Malaysians, we as a nation will never see progress. To move forward, we need all Malaysians not Malays, Chinese, Indians and the 'lain-lain'.
