Outgoing Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hassan today spoke out against what he saw as excessive interference by “third parties” in police business, naming the Home Ministry among others.
“All kinds of people interfere. People from the ministry itself, outsiders, people with vested interests like those who want to do things that are not right — they will try to interfere,” he said.
“The ministry I mentioned is the Home Ministry, of course. Other ministries cannot give me orders,” he added, when asked to clarify.
Musa (picture) stressed that these third parties should not give orders to police subordinates without the knowledge of the senior police leadership as this sometimes stopped the force from carrying out its duties.
“If interference occurs... this is a wrong action because it is not in line with command and control,” he said.
“We don’t want others to give our officers orders that, if carried out, are wrong. That’s why it must be direct command and control from senior officers from the police themselves, and no outsiders to dictate what to do.”

Orders from outsiders have given the police a bad image. How can the police perform when there are interference from outsiders. This started during the Mahathir era and is continuing. I hope the new IGP will act tough with outsiders. Only then will the image of the police force improve. Our new IGP must get these outsiders arrested and charged. For our country to be safe and secured it is very important that the police force is respected by the public.
Go ahead, spill everything - the Rakyat is waiting to hear more truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth.
Lend justice to the Mongolian lady, the cow head, church arson, the Indian young man who died in custody, the Chinese man who came flying many floors fown from some Shah Alam office, ...
Tell us who are involved so that justice prevails.
