Seems like Azlina likes to court trouble. Or is it she doesn't know anything about what is going on in her Ministry?

The tourism minister’s office has excess baggage. It’s over-staffed and the appointment of some 20 staff contravenes the Public Services Department (PSD)’s regulations limiting the appointments to only eight. It is also in defiance of a Treasury circular on cost-cutting and austerity.
The minister’s office has three special officers, five political officers, one research officer, six Information technology (IT) officers and five support staff
The PSD allows a minister to have only one special officer, one senior private secretary or administrative and diplomatic officer, one private secretary or assistant administrative officer, one press secretary or information officer, three administrative assistants one general office assistant
These details are contained in documents sighted by theSun which also highlight other discrepancies, such as:
> the appointments were backdated to circumvent circulars from the PSD and the Treasury;
> applicants being paid much more than they asked for;
> multiple payment of salaries from different companies; and
> absence of proper selection process as the posts were not advertised.
