KUALA LUMPUR: Ahmad Idham Ahmad Nadzri refused comment on speculations that he had been asked to take leave from carrying out his duties as chief executive officer of the National Film Development Corporation (Finas).

The 45-year-old actor said that he had not received any directive on the matter.
