Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah yesterday clarified that the top officials of the ministry were in the dark about Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali’s violation of home quarantine rules.
Dr Noor Hisham said that they only found out last week from media reports about the matter, and he himself had only received the full report on Monday from an internal investigation.
Explaining further, Dr Noor Hisham said that the case was now under police investigation and they would leave it to the police to do their inquiry.
“Internal investigation has been done and I’ve seen the report which has been given to the police. So, we will leave it to police to do the investigation and take the necessary action. So, let the police do their job and address this issue as soon as possible,” he was quoted as saying.
