Tajuddin’s latest appointment puts him back in the public eye a little under four months after he was removed as chairman of infrastructure firm Prasarana Malaysia Bhd following public backlash over his lack of empathy to victims of an LRT crash in May.

Malaysians went online criticising his conduct during a news conference, questioning his professionalism in handling questions from the press.

A petition on the website Change.org titled #LetakJawatanTajuddin (#ResignTajuddin), collected nearly 140,000 signatures in just 24 hours.
