No such thing as 'my man', says IGP in call to stop favouritism

There is no such term as “my man” or “orang saya” in the police force, said Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

He said the practice favouritism should not become a culture in the police force and all officers and personnel should be treated equally.

“It is an unhealthy culture. I ask all district police chiefs, department heads, and personnel to do away with calling someone ‘my man’ or ‘orang saya’.

“There are no IGP or the OCPD’s (district police chief) favourites, because all officers and staff are working for the police under me,” he said at the handing over of duties for the Selangor police chief and Selangor Perkep chairperson.

Hussein Omar Khan was appointed as the new Selangor police chief effective today.

Acryl Sani (above) said the appointment of Hussein Omar, a senior police officer with extensive experience who had successfully handled several cases recently, is a step forward to overcoming future challenges of the police force.

“I believe that the Selangor Police Contingent is now in capable hands,” he added.

Meanwhile, Hussein Omar said he would perform his new role to the best of his ability.

Hussein Omar was previously Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) deputy director (intelligence/operations), and National Disaster Management Agency operations director.
