PETALING JAYA: Slain Customs deputy director-general II Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim was slated to be transferred a month prior to his murder, the Peninsular Malaysia Customs Officers Union has confirmed.
Its president Ibrahim Ahmad said Shaharuddin’s son Mohd Akhtar was correct in saying so. “But we asked for him (Shaharuddin) to remain at the department headquarters as he was a very dedicated officer. He received the transfer letter in March but we appealed to the department management against the transfer and we were successful,” he said yesterday.
