KUALA LUMPUR: While the death of lecturer turned militant Dr Mahmud Ahmad in Marawi has yet to be confirmed by Malaysia’s intelligence, the country cannot afford to rest on its laurels as others will emerge to take his place, says the Defence Minister.
“I have not received confirmation from our (Malaysia) intelligence but the indication from the Philippines’ side is that that is the case,” Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein (pic) told reporters after a National Transformation 2050 (TN50) dialogue with the Defence Ministry at Wisma Perwira here yesterday.
