KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh will be the new Attorney General to replace Tan Sri Idrus Harun, says Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali.

Mohd Zuki said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had consented to Terrirudin's appointment, which will take effect on Sept 6. Idrus' contract ends on Sept 5.
