PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has disagreed with a resolution at yesterday's Malay Dignity Congress that the finance minister post must be reserved for Muslims.
The former finance minister stressed that the appointee should be selected based on his or her qualifications as opposed to skin colour.
“The finance minister should be someone who is qualified, competent and professional.
“(Someone) who cares about the Malays and bumiputera as well as all Malaysians,” the Port Dickson MP told reporters at the Parliament lobby this afternoon.
During the congress, PAS MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari submitted a resolution stating that the prime minister, deputy prime minister, menteri besar and senior ministers posts be reserved for Muslims.
Apart from this, he also wanted Muslims as the chief justice, attorney-general, chief secretary to the government, inspector-general of police as well as to helm the armed forces.
