PETALING JAYA – Umno Pasir Salak MP Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman is no longer Malaysia’s ambassador to Indonesia.

This was confirmed by a source in Wisma Putra, as reported by The Star.

The report stated that the source admitted Tajuddin’s name was dropped from his position as the Malaysian ambassador to Indonesia.

“As far as I know, the issue is being dealt with tactfully as the Prime Minister wants Tajuddin,” said the source.

It was said that on Sunday, just before Hari Raya Aidiladha, the former Umno’s Supreme Council member’s name was initially on the list of envoys to receive their appointment letters from the King, says another source.

“The last time I checked the list before Hari Raya Haji, Tajuddin’s name was still there,” the source told the media outlet.

However, the reason Tajuddin’s name was removed from the list was unclear.

Previously, Tajuddin confirmed that he was appointed as Malaysia’s ambassador to Indonesia on May 17.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob himself also stated there was no need to question Tajuddin’s appointment as the ambassador.

Sinar Daily has attempted to contact Tajuddin to obtain direct confirmation about his position as ambassador, but the efforts were futile.
