Shahruddin resigns as deputy works minister


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Shahruddin Md Salleh (pic) has quit his position as deputy works minister, but there is still confusion whether he remains with the Perikatan Nasional government.

In a letter of resignation which was tagged to his Facebook, Shahruddin said that he has formed a political "ijtihad" (independent reasoning), that it was not a right move to join the Perikatan government under Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
