PETALING JAYA:
Community communications department (J-Kom) director-general Khairuddin Othman has urged the media to direct their enquiries regarding the termination of his position to communications minister Fahmi Fadzil.

Khairuddin confirmed his departure after six months in office, but declined to elaborate.

“It would be best to refer all queries directly to the (communications) minister,” he told FMT.

The former two-term Paya Jaras assemblyman from PKR was appointed to the position on March 1, succeeding Agus Yusoff.

Agus stepped down as J-Kom director-general last November amid the controversy surrounding an alleged lewd conversation between him and another man.

FMT has reached out to Fahmi’s office for comment.
