Palace
confirms receipt of memo from NGO about Customs D-G
In the copy of the
alleged letter, MHO was shown saying it was representing other NGOs requesting
the King to appoint current Customs deputy D-G Datuk Zulkifli Yahya, instead of
Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy (pic). — File picKUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — Istana Negara today acknowledged
receiving a memorandum about the appointment of a new Royal Malaysian Customs
director-general (D-G) amid a brewing race issue.
However, the palace
declined comment on its content.
“Officials from Istana
Negara received the memorandum from MHO. We cannot comment on the contents, but
we received the memorandum,” a spokesman told Malay Mail Online when
contacted, referring to Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation by its
initials.
MHO has sparked
controversy earlier after an alleged letter from it surfaced on the internet
seeking the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to consider a Malay to be appointed the new
Customs D-G instead of an ethnic Indian.
The NGO has since
disputed being the author of the memo that is being circulated through social
media channels.
- “We
deny this, and are not responsible in issuing such a memorandum.
“We do not agree with
the content stated in the memorandum. We will also take action against any
parties who use MHO's name without our express permission,” MHO secretary
Hishamuddin Hashim told Malay Mail Online when contacted
earlier.
In the copy of the
alleged letter, MHO was shown saying it was representing other NGOs requesting
the King to appoint current Customs deputy D-G Datuk Zulkifli Yahya, who is in
charge of Customs and Goods and Services Tax, instead of Datuk Subromaniam
Tholasy, his fellow deputy D-G in charge of enforcement.
The outgoing D-G,
Datuk Seri Khazali Ahmad, ended his tenure on Monday.
The alleged memorandum
sighted by Malay Mail Online dated March 20, 2017 stated that
MHO wanted Zulkifli as Customs D-G as he is Malay and a Kelantanese, therefore
would be the best candidate when it came to protecting the interests of Malays
and Muslims here.
The current Yang
di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V is from Kelantan.
“Furthermore, issues
involving religion and public affairs can be discussed in a harmonious
environment and situation, and better to get the best decision for Malaysians.
“Islamic agenda will
also indirectly be protected and guaranteed for the next years, subsequently
leading to the advancement of Malaysian themselves,” the letter said.
