S’gor has no right to interfere with Fed Govt’s appointment of state secretary, I used to have 4 – Khir Toyo

Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, the former Opposition leader of the Selangor state government has accused the Pakatan Rakyat administration led by Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to have illegally interfered in the appointment of the state secretary in the recent issue where the federal government appointed Datuk Mohd Khushrin Munawi as the state secretary, much to the protest of the state government. Khir Toyo said that the appointment of the secretary, whom he claims to be a top civil servant is the prerogative of Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, the Chief Secretary to the Government and that the state government would not have any right to interfere.

He said “The appointment of state secretary is valid when the chief secretary to the government agrees to it. As a Federated Malay State, the appointment is made by the Public Services Department,” he said referring to the federation made of Selangor, Pahang, Perak and Negri Sembilan formed in the late 19th centuries by the British administration. The committee formed by Khalid to select new state secretary is illegal. Perhaps he did not consult the state legal adviser. He has so many political agenda, because of that he is suspicious of everyone else. When I was an MB, I worked with four state secretaries and I did not face any problem with them. They are all civil servants. Tan Sri Khalid should know that he will be facing more problems if disagreement with Tuanku continues. He even needs Tuanku’s consent to convene the state assembly. I believe Tuanku wants somebody who can serve everyone regardless of political affiliation,”

u used to have 4 palaces from tax payer's money?? wait till the next elec tion and see the demise of umno and u in jail....u dont ever learn,..,u are now charged for corruption and u are still opening ur damned mouth????

Selangor is under PKR,and as such anything pertaining to the administration should belong to the MB.

It's really a shame that the FG has hijacked the post of the SS!It is something that the MB of the State has the right to dominate any rightful candidate to the post and approved by the Sultan.

The FG has no right to interfere in this matter UNLESS what they had done brings out their evil intention of ??????(u guess it).

Let us bring down BN at the coming GE!!!!NO to their high & mighty tactics !!!No one is above the Voters !!!
