Calling support for non-favourism of football players by Khairy

Cheah Soon Hai: An exemplar for all

Gerakan Deputy President Dato’ Dr. Cheah Soon Hai supported Minister of Youth and Sports, Khairy Jamaluddin’s claim that non-favourism action should be taken against the football players. Khairy had urged Malaysian Football Association earlier that they should not favour the football players under any circumstances and should take immediate disciplinary action against players who were found to violate the ethics of conducts.

“Khairy’s request demonstrates a good start that all government departments should follow, especially regarding the Auditor General (AG) report last year, to take legal actions and to claim liability of any parties that were involved in misconducts.”

Cheah pointed out that, taking fair and appropriate disciplinary actions are the only mean to achieve the transformation programs that were implemented by PM Najib, namely transparency, accountability and integrity.

He also added that all government departments should be refrained from their own internal investigations as these often ended in fruitless results without sufficient transparency, eventually leading to popular grumbles. Meanwhile, further actions should be taken to prevent similar things from happening again.

民政党赞凯里不偏帮足球员言论

谢顺海：各部门应效仿该行动

2014年2月12日

针对青年及体育部长凯里促请大马足总在任何情况下都不能偏帮足球员，若发现足球员违反操守，应立即采取公正的纪律行动，民政党署理主席拿督谢顺海医生表示支持。

“凯里对于大马足总的这番言论是个好的开始，我希望其他政府部门也能效仿，尤其是去年的稽查司报告，应向他们学习，采取行动对付任何涉及犯错的人士，进行问责态度。”

谢顺海医生指出，采取公正的纪律行动才能真正达致首相纳吉一直所推行的转型运动，即透明化、负责任和诚信。

谢顺海医生表示，所有政府部门应避免进行内部调查，因为这往往到最后都是无疾而终，结果未透明化，最终只会引起民众的不满。同时，我们也必须阻止类似不公的事件再次发生。
