Federal Level — Minister/Prime Minister A Minister (including the Prime Minister) does not have the direct power to appoint a Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian (Secretary-General of a Ministry). The appointment of the Chief Secretary to the Government (Ketua Setiausaha Negara) is made under Article 144(3) of the Federal Constitution, where it must be approved by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, on the certificate of the Public Service Commission (Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam), with the advice of the Prime Minister. WikipediaSo while the Prime Minister has an advisory role, the actual appointment power rests with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and the process must go through the Public Service Commission (PSC/SPA). A Minister alone cannot unilaterally appoint a KSU.
State Level — Menteri Besar (MB) Similarly, a Menteri Besar does not have unilateral power to appoint the Ketua Setiausaha Negeri (State Secretary). The appointment follows a similar constitutional process — typically through the State Public Service Commission and with the approval of the Ruler (Sultan/Raja) of the respective state.
