role from the public and how many you have received from other nominating
agencies such as TPK or Ministry of women etc for your role. How many you
have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed. Also, can I request to
view the appointment letter if there is one sent to the appointee. I am
happy for you to remove all the personal information.”
