00:00Khairuddin Othman was dropped as Director-General of the Community Communications Department

00:06for being wasteful of funds.

00:09This is what a source told FMT, adding that Khairuddin allegedly organised trips overseas

00:14that were not of high impact.

00:17The source said he also sacked officers hired on a contract basis, without referring to

00:21the Communications Ministry.

00:24Jaycom also carried out programmes and procurements via an NGO under Khairuddin's watch, the

00:29source said.

00:31Yesterday Khairuddin, who took office six months ago, confirmed his termination, but

00:35declined to elaborate on the matter.

00:37Instead, he urged the media to direct their inquiries to Communications Minister Fahmi

00:42Fadzil.

00:43However, Fahmi refused to comment on why Khairuddin's contract was terminated at a press conference

00:48today.
