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.
