			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tourism Minister Datuk Azalina Othman Said and Youth &#038; Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob are calling for Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir&#8217;s resignation as chairman of the Sepang International Circuit (SIC), citing the post as a government appointment.</p>
<p>Mokhzani, who quit Umno on May 21 following in his father and former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad&#8217;s footsteps, had insisted he would hold on to the post as there was no directive from Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad or the Finance Ministry asking him to leave.</p>
<p>SIC is a subsidiary of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad, which is controlled by the government through Khazanah Holding.  [<a href="http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/news_lite.php?id=336425">Bernama</a>]</p>
<p>Interesting call, Azalina and Ismail.  So, what&#8217;s next?  All the executive posts of GLCs, government offices, civil services, police force, armed forces blah blah must be hold by Umno members is it?</p>
<p>The reason why we started privatisation of companies is to separate those entities from political influences and to operate at their own in a corporate environment.  What&#8217;s the point of operating SIC as a corporate if the politicians are going to interfere its operations for political reasons?</p>
<p>Besides, these two Umno fellas might be having their own agenda instead of political frenziness, read more from <a href="http://rockybru.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-sic-k-is-azalina-and-ismail.html">Rockybru</a>.</p>
