Appointment of new health DG will follow standard procedure, says Ali

MI


KOTA KINABALU, Dec 9 — Chief Secretary to the government, Datuk Seri Ali Hamsa, said that the appointment of the new health director-general to replace Datuk Seri Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman, who was demoted following a khalwat case last month, will be in accordance with standard civil service procedures.
“We’ll have to wait for it as it is done according to standard civil service procedures. It’ll be announced when the time comes,” he told reporters after launching the Malaysian Government Services Welfare and Recreation Council (MAKSAK) gotong-royong at Kampung Lindung, Karambunai, near here today.    
Ali was commenting on the post’s vacancy after Public Services Commission chairman Tan Sri Mahmood Adam was quoted as saying Dr Hasan had been demoted by a grade following the khalwat case last month and was no longer health director-general.
