LETTER: I learned with some sadness that the rather unconventional, outspoken and outstanding IGP, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador has to retire following the completion of his contract.
He was not perfect but his credentials and commitment to duty were impressive. His successor, Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah, the deputy IGP has been named to succeed him.
At the outset the new IGP must be congratulated. All upright Malaysians would wish him good health and success in this most important position. Acryl Sani is taking over this post at a time of the most acute health pandemic when police personnel and other resources are stretched to the fullest to assume essential frontline roles.
Police work is now no longer restricted to law and order matters but to monitoring and apprehending those committing breaches of SOPs in respect of Covid-19.
The current government seems appropriately well concerned and has equipped itself well toward handling the Covid-19 situation. Equally important consideration should also be given to another grave matter that piques and plagues the country - corruption.
This refers to elite corruption which, from the free and frank disclosures by the outgoing IGP, has become a persistent problem.
Abdul Hamid must know what he is talking about and has to be commended for his courage in raising this delicate issue. He is retiring and he has taken the occasion of his retirement to voice some home truths.
He could not have said those things in public while in active service as he had to maintain the harmony and respect the hierarchy in the law enforcement system.
Had Abdul Hamid voiced these concerns while in active service he would, in all probability, been treated the way the other Hamid was treated. Court of Appeal judge Datuk Dr Hamid Sultan Abu Backer had been effectively interdicted from judicial function and duty until the day of retirement without losing out on any of the perquisites of high judicial office.
The two Hamids have touched on sensitive issues which will rile and offend a few errant highly placed people but inspire and please most of our citizenry because what is sought is justice, impartiality, independence in judgement, efficiency and decency.
No one can question the need or the quest for an effective, efficient and fully empowered law enforcement and judicial system. Most significantly the public service must seek and set the highest ideals of loyalty and love to the nation.

This IGP Bador even went ballistic defending mistake of his officers for issuing 50k summon! I mean, can he see that 50k is way to much for poor hawkers!

Even amateur youtuber can find Jho Low in China and Hongkong! Yet with so much resources at his disposal, IGP Bador can't seem to find Jho Low who is walking free!

Memang betul IGP bador is one of the hero we should proud of loh!!
Highlighting the weaknesses of PDRM n the abuser by the politician by taking advantage of the police is far more important than catching fugitive like jho low or searching for missing pastor who is probably be dead by now loh!!
All this fugitive jholow runaway , missing pastor and sandakan video actors mystery are due to weaknesses of the system, that need immediate reform by PDRM now mah!!
Bravo to hero IGP bador loh!

REMEMBER THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT LOH;
The current government seems appropriately well concerned and has equipped itself well toward handling the Covid-19 situation. Equally important consideration should also be given to another grave matter that piques and plagues the country - corruption.

Come on! Stop idolizing IGP Bador! He was imcompetent! He fail to solve so many issues of national concern! Jho Low, pastors, and so forth which can be solved under his wings! He can't even solve Sandakan video when malaysians can easily identify the actors!
