PETALING JAYA: Continued shaming of senior public servants by the Selangor state assembly’s Select Committee for Competency, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) could cause Selangor’s Pakatan Rakyat-government to collapse, PAS Youth warned.
Its chief Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi said the action could see a repeat of the resentment felt by civil servants after former mentri besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo had awarded them with a broom.
“We need to learn from this. Dr Khir was disliked by the public servants after his action and that could have resulted in the collapse of the then state government,’’ he said when contacted by mStar Online, The Star’s Malay news portal.
During the Selangor Excellence Awards in November 2007, Dr Khir presented two state agencies with brooms for failing to achieve their targets.
The action brought a lot of criticism from various quarters.
Nasrudin said that if public servants felt they had been shamed by the questioning session that was conducted in an open forum, it could cause hatred towards the state government.
“If this happens, I am worried that they could damage the stability of the government.”
On talk of action being taken against Dr Hasan, Nasruddin said that although he held a different view, the action should not be to the extent that Hasan is expelled from the party.
“We should listen to his explanation first,’’ he said.
