Khairuddin’s exit: J-Kom DG's seat really that hot?

 

Mohd Khairuddin Othman


Looks like the role of Director-General at the Department of Community Communication (J-Kom) is pretty unstable! In less than a year, it’s set to change hands once again.

Today, reports surfaced that Dr. Mohd Khairuddin Othman has been let go, although the reasons behind this move are still a mystery. 

The Secretary of Selangor PKR didn’t want to comment and suggested that reporters reach out to the Ministry of Communications for answers.

Khairuddin took over the position on March 1, 2024, following Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff, who stepped down in November 2023 after a scandal involving a viral video allegedly featuring him and a former J-Kom officer.

Now, with Khairuddin’s departure, people are wondering what’s really going on at J-Kom, which is tasked with spreading government messages. 

Was his performance not up to par? It certainly seems like J-Kom has been struggling lately.

To add to the mystery, the J-Kom Facebook page has gone dark since Mohammad Agus left, which is odd since the department should be active on social media.

So, who’s going to take over for Khairuddin, and how long will they last in this hot seat? Only time will tell!
