How to fill the top post of an organization

Was it last saturday that i saw a job advert for FINAS, Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Malaysia. They were looking for a Director General. An organization looking for a head. Nothing wrong with it. Their webpage confirms this here. See the pdf file.

What appeared wrong was, interested applicants are to forward their application to "The Director General, FINAS, c/o HR Unit of Finas".

Funny how the HR unit is the one vetting applications for the post of CEO. Even if the existing Director General is in office, it doesnt appear logical for him to be the one receiving such application.

This country never fails to amaze me on how to do things wrongly.

Over here, the term used is "Director General". Its a public sector equivalent of the private sector's Managing Director.
