Ex-envoy: Tajuddin not suitable for such an important position

Appointing Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman as Malaysia's ambassador to Indonesia is not a good move by Putrajaya, according to a former diplomat. Speaking to Malaysiakini on condition of anonymity, the retired ambassador said such an important position should be filled by someone with vast experience and training. "Looking at the personality of the person that is being appointed, I am of the opinion that he is not suitable to fill such an important position, which is to represent Malaysia as its ambassador to Indonesia," said the career diplomat, who had served as Malaysia ambassador to several countries, including countries in the region.
