After it was reported yesterday (December 17) that Foreign Affairs Minister Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Haji Hasan had been spotted smoking a cigarette at an eatery in Negeri Sembilan, Health Minister shared that he will be receiving a compound on the offence today (December 18).
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad also went on to explain that the Foreign Affairs Minister had admitted his mistake and requested that he be compounded for it.
According to a report by Kosmo, Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Haji Hasan shared that he has received the notice for the compound and how he will proceed.
“I couldn’t return to Seremban, so the officer came to see me here (in Putrajaya) because tomorrow (December 19), I am going to Bangkok, Thailand,”
“I have received the compound notice, and this compound notice will be handed over to the Attorney General’s Chambers to determine the amount of the compound,” he said.
He also apologised should his actions cause concern among the public.
“I will pay (the compound), hopefully it won’t be too expensive,” he added.
