Samy Vellu announced yesterday that Datuk Dr Judin Abdul Karim has been made Director-General of the Public Works Department (JKR) succeeding Datuk Seri Professor Dr Wahid Omar who retired in April. Datuk Ir Mohamad Razali Othman who many had expected to be the successor to Wahid is now made the Director-General of the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM).
"The appointments are effective from May 3," Samy Vellu told reporters after a post-Cabinet meeting at the ministry, here.
Dr. Judin was the former JKR deputy director-general I and Mohamad Razali the JKR deputy director-general III during the reign of Datuk Seri Wahid Omar (Deputy D-G II at that time was the QS chief who retired around the same time with Wahid).
Upon the retirement of Wahid, Razali was made the acting D-G till the announcement yesterday.

Samy Vellu also announced the other three Deputy Directors-General.
Datuk Ir Mohammad Husin was made deputy director-general I, Datuk Ir Mohd Noor Yaakob deputy director-general II and Ir Selvanayagam P. Nagalingam deputy director-general III.
The new line-up was expected; it was predictable...
Datuk Md Husin was the former Trengganu State JKR Pengarah before he was promoted to be the Ketua Pengarah Cawangan Jalan and now further promoted to be the Deputy D-G (I). His rise was phenomenal and quick; double promotion in a space of less than 3 years. Mohd Noor Yaakob was the LLM D-G where Datuk Razali will now be heading (puzzled???). Ir. Selvanayagam was the former Pengarah Cawangan Pakar dan Kejuruteraan Awam.
Congratulations to Dr Judin! I hope he will continue the "change management process" in JKR. There is certainly a lack of project management skills and competencies within the system. Dr Judin is still young (I believe he is less than 53) and will have a few years to rule. Md Husin may not have the time on his side to be the next successor.
P/S: Datuk Mohd Adib, was my prediction right? You didn't believe in my theory, did you?

Why the clear and present menace is not replaced?
The JKR urgently needs solid, professional management. They have been having too much "political management". But I don't think anything is going to change.
The rot is right at the very top.
As TDM made clear, Semi-Value is non-fireable no matter what his performance is like.
I wonder why people has not question why Judin is the DG despite of him having lower seniority and lack of judgement.
Let me tell you why he is in that post instead of dato Razali...
He is part of the Badawi kronisme!
I have been told that the actual letter appointment of DG is pointed to Dato Razali but when it came to the hand of Prime Minister office, he changed it to Judin and sign on it. The post of that in LLM is far lower when compared to JKR. even the grade is different. I pity Dato Razali, they made him work double as acting DG and Deputy DG1 for 6 month but then given the post to somebody that is not worth it.
The only reason of Judin becoming TKP2 is because he is pull up by the culprit tan sri zaini...he is one of his man...and he is also responsible with some chinese taiko to lobby PM Bodowi to expell Razali from its post to LLM so that they can have their people (judin) inside. There is no way that this incompetent man could become DG except that he has the strong crony tie and he pleases the arse of UMNO.
