KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 — Tourism Malaysia director-general (D-G) Datuk Ammar Abd Ghapar confirmed that he has been removed from his post with effect from Monday.
Speaking to Malay Mail, Ammar said that he only received a letter from Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing this morning.
“The letter just says effective February 26, I am no longer the D-G. It does not say anything else. Transferred to where, holding what post, what grade,” he explained.
“I have no intention of going against any directive or instructions given to me… but I feel very frustrated and sad. I think that after serving for 36 years, (with) the experiences that I have got, I should not be treated this way,” he said.
