Attorney-General (AG) Datuk Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh said Datuk Suzana Atan had been appointed as Solicitor-General II, replacing Almalena, also effective Oct 2.
"The appointments align with the Directive on the Transfer of Legal Officers No 107 and 108/2023. All members of the Attorney-General's Chambers congratulate this appointment,” he said in a statement on Wednesday (Sept 20).
