It also questioned if she was suited for the role, given the human rights lawyer’s lack of experience in law enforcement and her political background.
“An obvious oversight of this nature does not reflect well on the resolve of the government in practising transparency, accountability, integrity and good governance, which are attributes that it has been championing vociferously,” Fareed said. “The era of political appointments should have ended the day Malaysians voted for a change in government on May 9, 2018.
Not only that, Fareed elaborated that Latheefa may have been a well-regarded lawyer but she lacked the necessary experience to be MACC chief.
