The former agency chief has expressed concern over what he describes as the government's silence on a corruption case involving Shaik Hussein Mydin, chairman of a state development board, saying the matter requires immediate attention.
According to the former official, the appropriate course of action would be to suspend Shaik Hussein Mydin from his duties pending the outcome of investigations into the allegations against him.
The criticism highlights ongoing questions about how Malaysian authorities are handling high-profile corruption cases and the timely management of officials facing serious allegations. The former chief's intervention suggests frustration within government circles over the apparent lack of decisive action.
No official statement has yet been issued by relevant authorities addressing the former chief's concerns or the status of any investigation involving the board chairman. The matter remains under scrutiny as observers await clarity on next steps.
