“I feel the main thing I’d say I achieved so far is ensuring a lot more young people are in leadership positions,” the Muar MP told“Not just in KBS but in other agencies, the corporate sector and GLCs we are appointing more and more young people as board members thanks to an agreement with the prime minister that came after long negotiations.”
“The MFLS will impact more than half a million Malaysians and that’s not including the ‘Fellow Korporat’ programme,” said Syed Saddiq, referring to a corporate fellowship programme he has also mooted. A briefing with MACC officers then alerted him to a serious lack of integrity and high perception of corruption within the ministry.
When asked if there was anything that he felt could be improved on, Syed Saddiq said he would like to meet PH’s long-term objectives including better housing, tackling the student loan issue and creating one million jobs for Malaysians.
