Wisma Putra has come up with some explanations about the criteria that the government looks at when considering a politician to be an ambassador.
While no names were mentioned, the explanation in response to a parliamentary query comes after many were perplexed by the government’s plans to appoint Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman as ambassador to Indonesia.
In the written reply yesterday, it said that any candidate for mission heads - whether career diplomats or political appointees - must pass MACC’s checks to ensure they are free of any issues of integrity.
