Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz has been suspended as senior private secretary to Primary Industries Deputy Minister Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin with immediate effect.

Shamsul Iskandar said a show cause letter has also been issued on June 12, which Haziq must reply within three days.

"The ministry will not hesitate to end his contract immediately if there is no response within the stipulated period," he said.

This followed Haziq's confession to being one of two men in gay sex videos being circulated this week. He claimed the other individual was Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali.
