‘WHAT I’M SURE IS MY SERVICE WILL END EARLY MAY’: IGP CONFIRMS HIS RETIREMENT – BUT KEEPS MUM ON TALK ON TRANSFER TO PMO AFTER THAT

KUALA LUMPUR— Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun confirmed today he will retire in early May.

He also declined to speculate on purported plans at the Prime Minister’s Department to extend his tenure by another six months.

“As far as I’m concerned, I didn’t get any note on this (extension).

“So, I can’t comment. What I’m sure is my service will end early May,” he told reporters after attending the handover ceremony of the federal police’s Criminal Investigation Department director and presenting the Pingat Jasa Pahlawan Negara (PJPN) medals to 93 senior officers at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol).

Malay Mail previously reported one name that has been mentioned frequently to take over from Mohamad Fuzi is Special Branch department director Datuk Abdul Hamid Bador.

Abdul Hamid was transferred from Bukit Aman to the Prime Minister’s Department in 2015 at the height of investigations into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
