PETALING JAYA:
The Yang di-Pertuan Agong presented letters of appointment to four new Malaysian heads of missions at Istana Negara today.

Bernama reported that the newly-appointed heads of missions were to South Korea (Lim Jay Jin), Japan (Shahril Effendi Abd Ghany), Saudi Arabia (Wan Zaidi Wan Abdullah) and Iran (Khairi Omar).

The report did not make any mention of Tajuddin Abdul Rahman.

FMT reported yesterday that the Pasir Salak MP would not be Malaysia’s ambassador to Indonesia after Putrajaya decided to withdraw his nomination.

When contacted yesterday, a government source familiar with the matter said that Putrajaya has had a “change of heart” over Tajuddin’s appointment.
