KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 — Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan has asked outgoing Inspector-general of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador to lodge a police report on the latter’s allegation of political interference in the police force.
Sinar Harian quoted the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department as saying that such a report would pave the way for an investigation into Hamid’s allegations.
“If the allegations are correct, first he has to follow the channels by making a report. From that report, people will take action... let the legal process take its own path,” Takiyuddin reportedly told reporters yesterday.
Takiyuddin reportedly also reminded public servants and senior officials to be careful when speaking on matters regarding the law and not make statements based on their emotions and feelings of dissatisfaction.
He was quoted as saying that the law was clear on the matter of police appointments, where Article 140 of the Federal Constitution states the Police Force Commission (PFC) has authority over promotions, discipline, welfare and other matters regarding the force.
“In the Federal Constitution it clearly says the PFC must be chaired by the minister in charge of the police who in this context is the home minister, so let no one question the matter,” he reportedly said.
Takiyuddin also reportedly said that if any issues crop up regarding the administration of any department, officers should not openly reveal such matters to the media and instead only disclose the matter in “meetings”.
Otherwise, he reportedly said, in the eye of the law the officers’ actions will be seen as “acts of disdain or reproach” against the government and policy makers.
Takiyuddin was commenting on a recent statement made by Abdul Hamid where he asked politicians to stop meddling in police affairs, and said that a minister should not be the chairman of the Police Force Commission (PFC).
Last Friday, Hamid alleged that Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin — who is the current PFC chairman — interfered in police matters, causing the existence of different “camps” vying for power within the force.
Hamid also said that the PFC failed to look into many investigations of police misconduct, with its meetings only conducted four times a year, and in a supposedly unprofessional manner.
Earlier that day, Hamzah, in a surprise announcement, handed over the appointment letter to Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani, who will be replacing Hamid as IGP tomorrow.

PERBUALAN MENTERI KDN HAMZAH ZAINUDDIN TURUT DIRAKAM?
872
SHARES
Oleh Datuk Dr. Mohd. Puad Zarkashi
Sejak malam tadi viral audio rakaman mirip suara Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin Menteri KDN. Ia berkaitan kenaikan pangkat dan pertukaran jawatan dalam PDRM.
Kalau Menteri KDN pun kena rakam, maka apakah Malaysia negara selamat?
Ia bukan soal siapa yang rakam dan apakah ia tulen tetapi soalnya apakah butiran perbualan itu satu skandal?
Maka siasatan mesti menyeluruh. Tetapi siapakah yang berkuasa untuk arah siasatan segera dibuat. Menteri KDN atau IGP?
Nampaknya Hamzah Zainuddin kena buat laporan polis terlebih dahulu. Baru siasatan dapat dimulakan.
Apakah dalam masa terdekat ini akan tercetus perang besar, dedah-mendedah dan konflik yang menghakis keyakinan rakyat terhadap kerajaan PN?
…
Nota: Rujuk transkrip audio (disediakan oleh Editor Malaysia) yang dikatakan sebagai perbualan antara Hamzah dan satu individu lain seperti di bawah;
Hamzah:
Nak tak kalau I bagi orang kita, kena naik pangkat dia…
Lelaki A:
Hmmm…
Hamzah:
And dia memang orang Perak, dia budak Ipoh apa semua, very good.
Memang Tuanku akan suka dialah.
I’m now Chairman of Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Polis.
Kalau Tuanku kata okay, lagi bagus, because dia budak kita, budak Perak, family semua kat sana…
Lelaki A:
Okay.
Hamzah:
Then it will be good for us.
Because that’s why I will choose yang I know la siapa yang Tuanku okay apa semua..
Now kita nak letak Pengarah-pengarah, because I’ve taken over…
I’ve told him I said that you tak boleh ada choice, you hanya boleh bagi nama-nama…
Katalah aku (tidak jelas) lima orang, you let me know, we will decide.
Lelaki A:
Hmm.
Hamzah:
Not for you to decide anymore like before.
All the Ketua Polis Negeri dia tak boleh decide.

It is not a problem Home Ministry sit as chairman but the integrity of person who appointed by PM to be Home Minister.
Answer : Exactly! However, having said that, IGP Bador intregrity also in deep question! So pot calling kettle black!

The whole system is so corrupted. Do you think any clean and good man any chance to hold the top post?
IGP just vented his anger because HM belittle him, Top cop and police force as budak and Hamzah:
Not for you to decide anymore like before.
All the Ketua Polis Negeri dia tak boleh decide
In Indonesia if you call people budak an insult you will get a punch from him
