THANKS FOR THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, SORRY IT HAS TO END SO SOON: ON HIS WAY OUT, IGP PAYS FAREWELL CALL TO NAJIB

Retiring inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar today paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak at his office in Putrajaya.

Khalid, who retires on Sept 5 after 40 years of service with the Royal Malaysia Police, had said earlier that he would not extend his service on contract.

He had begun his career with the Royal Malaysia Police in 1976 and had served in various capacities, including as chief police officer of Negeri Sembilan and Selangor, and as the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Department at Bukit Aman.

He was made the director of internal security and public order at Bukit Aman in 2010 and deputy inspector-general of police in April 2011.

Khalid, who hails from Seremban, was appointed the inspector-general of police on May 17, 2013, succeeding Ismail Omar.
