Mokhzani, who quit Umno on May 21 following in his father and former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’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.

SIC is a subsidiary of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad, which is controlled by the government through Khazanah Holding. [Bernama]

Interesting call, Azalina and Ismail. So, what’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?

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’s the point of operating SIC as a corporate if the politicians are going to interfere its operations for political reasons?

Besides, these two Umno fellas might be having their own agenda instead of political frenziness, read more from Rockybru.

So, questioning the social contract means that we are not patriotic? Interesting perception Mr Sabri.

50 years ago we didn’t have internet, mobile phones, Viagra, AIDS, Proton, AirAsia etc. Lots of things have changed over the span of 50 years… and lots of things have become irrelevant. Why are we not supposed to question any contracts or rules that were made 50 years ago?

I was not even born yet back then, and I am not sure if we actually do have a 50-year-old social contract. Why shouldn’t I question the legitimacy as well as the relevance of the contract?

If asking for a fair-for-all-Malaysians policy is considered as unpatriotic, just be it… I don’t want to be a second class patriot.
