The government chief secretary is "kurang ajar"

The recent announcement made by the BN federal government's chief secretary Tan Sri Sidek Hassan to appoint the tainted Selangor religious department director Mohd Khusrin Munawi to take over the position of Selangor state secretary without informing the Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has been unbecoming and Tan Sri Sidek has been seen as rude.

The rudeness of Tan Sri Sidek is, he did not even have the care or courtesy to consult the Selangor Menteri Besar on the state secretary's choice, instead choose to bypass Khalid and went straight to the Sultan of Selangor to present the appointment.

Yes, we know the state secretary's position is under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Department (JPA), but as that position is a state based, the chief secretary should have at least demonstrate his proper manners and professionalism in getting the Selangor Menteri Besar's acknowledging the appointment first. Again we wish to point that Tan Sri Sidek is being rude and unprofessional in discharging his duties and responsibilities.

See! What have the chief secretary Tan Sri Sidek Hassan caused? He purposely bypassed the Menteri Besar and appointed his own candidate for the state secretary's position while the Selangor state government is still in process of identifying the most suitable candidate through proper channel and procedures.

Or perhaps, if Tan Sri Sidek says it is not his fault, then who instructed him to create all these chaos in Selangor? Is the prime minister who is also the Umno president Datuk Najib Razak pulling the strings from behind? We are sure that Najib would soon come out to push the blame back to Tan Sri Sidek by saying that the appointment was with JPA and not him. In the end Najib would just wash his hands and pass the buck back to Tan Sri Sidek.

So, Tan Sri Sidek, what do you have to say for now? You had definitely sabotaged and indeed jeopardized the relationship between the state and federal governments with your rudeness and being unprofessional in your duties.

Well, you had already shown your great powers to step on the Menteri Besar's head. You helped the Umno president by acting on his behalf and now you have to take ownership of the "kurang ajar" title.

By the way, are you going to do the same on Kedah, Penang and Kelantan states as well?
