KUALA LUMPUR – The Police Force Commission (PFC) will determine an eligible candidate to replace Deputy Inspector-General (IGP) of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain who will retire on March 14.
IGP Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said so far the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) has identified several qualified candidates to fill the vacancy before the PFC decides.
“God willing, we have some high-ranking positions in the force that will be vacated due to compulsory retirement. Therefore, any decision and selection will be made in a meeting of the Police Force Commission soon.
“There are already a number of qualified candidates who will be considered by the commission to fill the top position and other posts,” he told reporters after attending the 2022 RMP Excellent Service Award ceremony at the Bukit Aman Senior Officer’s Mess, here, today.
Razarudin was appointed deputy IGP on December 26, 2021 to replace Tan Sri Mazlan Lazim who went on compulsory retirement.
Razarudin was earlier Bukit Aman’s narcotics criminal investigation department director .
Meanwhile, commenting on the rescue operation for flood victims in Johor, Acryl Sani said police had sent a total of 369 officers and personnel to the state.
“We are aware that this Johor flood is one of the worst since the 2006 flood. We have mobilised manpower and RMP assets, and of course the National Disaster Centre has been activated by mobilising all elements consisting of temporary evacuation centre, food aid, and rescue work.
“For the RMP, we have sent 369 officers and personnel to help ease the difficulties faced by the flood victims there. This is part of the entire human resource workforce mobilised by the flood task force,” he said.
At the same time, he also informed that the policing operation at Chaah police station in Segamat district has been halted for repairs.
“Apart from that, the police quarters at Segamat district police headquarters were also flooded, and a total of 126 victims were transferred to a temporary evacuation centre. Meanwhile, operations at Bahau police station, which was also affected by the flood, are still continuing because only the fence has collapsed, he said. – Bernama, March 3, 2023
