PETALING JAYA: Datuk Indera Khairul Dzaimee Daud has been appointed as the new Immigration Department director-general.
Home Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Alwi Ibrahim said the appointment takes effect on Monday (Jan 14).

"He began employment in the public service in 1996.
"He has worked in various agencies and ministries including the National Security Council and Home Ministry," Alwi said in a statement on Sunday (Dec 13).

"He was also responsible for policies concerning immigration matters, foreign workers management and national registration issues due to his post as the Home Ministry deputy secretary-general (policy and control) from July 2018 to Jan 13, 2019," Alwi said.
Khairul Dzaimee replaces Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali who is now the National Financial Crime Centre (NFCC) chief executive.
