PUTRAJAYA, May 16 — A whopping 17,000 “political appointees” will be terminated soon, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.
He said his Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration is looking to trim excess fat from the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) administration to cut government spending.
“There had been excessive government spending and we need to reduce this, which includes too many contract employees, some of whom were for administrative needs while others were political appointees.
“In cases where they are drivers, who get a low salary, it would be a burden to them if we terminate them abruptly,” he told a news conference at the Perdana Leadership Foundation here.
Dr Mahathir said such contract workers would be reassigned to tasks more suited to their qualifications.

You terminate the boss but keep the driver because they are cheap, but they have no bosses to drive for? Hahaha

New govt should revisit the civil servant productivity. Those no meeting the productivity need to take necessary action including asking them to go for early retirement.

A responsible gov should hire on need base, on productivity base. I don't know where to reassign drivers to, but in principle it has to be necessity and productivity, because if u don't u will get stuck in other instances

All political appointees serve only their political masters.
Boss gone, machai must resign.
Or do you think they are waiting for dismissal letters to ask for compensation?
Their masters already jobless, so are they..........

Political secretary?
Private secretary?
Press secretary?
Confidential secretary?
Ask them to follow Najib or Ahmad Hamidi.
They are rich enough to maintain all these secretaries for daily routine like reading news to the bosses...........
