IGP: What's there to worry about




KUALA LUMPUR (July 12, 2007): "What is there to worry about? I have nothing to worry. This is normal."
This was Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan's response to the probe by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) on allegations of corruption and malpractices made against him in a weblog.
He however declined to elaborate on the investigations and told reporters to speak to the ACA if they wanted to know more.
"They are investigating the report. Why ask me, ask the ACA." he said when asked if the ACA had obtained a statement from him.
However, sources said ACA officers from Putrajaya had gone to Bukit Aman about two weeks ago to record a statement from Musa.
On Tuesday (July 10), Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Johari Baharom had revealed in Parliament that he had lodged a report with the ACA on the allegations against Musa which were posted by Raja Petra Kamaruddin on his weblog Malaysia-today.com last month.
The highly-detailed posting claimed Musa had close links to underworld lords and had protected their interest in criminal activities such as vice and illegal 4D-lotteries.
In earlier comments, Musa had described the claims as "wild slander".
Musa had earlier attended a joint function with the National Achives to commemorate the struggles and contributions of the Royal Malaysian Police in achieving and retaining the country's independence at the Police Officers' College in Cheras today.
In his speech, Musa touched on the challenges and obstacles faced by the police force since it was formed by the British 200 years ago.
He said the Emergencies between 1948 and 1960 and the battle against the Communist were among the police's toughest and most demanding periods.
Musa said the people must be cautious about instigators and those who make slanderous claims to discredit the government as this can affect the security and peace of the country.
"We hope the public will report these undesirables to the authorities, especially the police, so that their activities can be eradicated."

tunku : let the ACA investigate and pass the report to AG. AG will announe whether Tan Sri Musa should be prosecuted or not.Well one person is really hoping he'll be prosecuted that is johari baharom.
