GEORGE TOWN: Penang Umno yesterday expressed regret over the statement by Penang Deputy Chief Minister I, Datuk Mansor Osman, on the appointment of the Penang Islamic Affairs Council (MAINPP) president and described it as political theatrics that were not acceptable.
Speaking to reporters here yesterday, Penang Umno Liaison Committee
chairman Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman said the way the issue was handled showed
the state government leadership was neither transparent nor smart.
He said the decision by the state government to push for its preferred
candidate -- Penang Pas Commissioner Datuk Mohd Salleh Man -- to be named
MAINPP president showed their irresponsible attitude, which had denied the
decision by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who had approved the appointment of
Abdul Malik Abul Kassim from Parti Keadilan Rakyat to the post.
