Thank You Tan Sri Musa Hassan

Ismail Omar Is New IGP, Hussin Ismail As Deputy

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar has been recommended to take over the post of Inspector-General of Police (IGP) from Tan Sri Musa Hassan whose contract ends on Sept 12, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said.
He said Internal Security and Public Order Director Datuk Hussin Ismail had been recommended for the post of Deputy IGP.
"The posts of IGP and Deputy IGP are special posts under Article 140 of the Federal Constitution and appointments to the post must be consented to by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong," he told a news conference.
Asked when the matter would be brought before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Hishammuddin said it would depend on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
To a question, he said the decision not to renew Musa's contract was not due to pressure from any group.
"It just happens that the IGP's tenure expires on Sept 12. It's time for a successor to come and fill in the position.
"That process will carry on and our struggle to ensure a better police force and to ensure the country is safe will continue," he said.
Hishammuddin also said that the government was looking into how Musa could continue to contribute his expertise, saying he would be the best candidate to lead the proposed training academy to tackle trans-border crime such as cyber crime, human trafficking, drug smuggling, money laundering and terrorism, based in Langkawi.
"On behalf of the government I would like to record our highest appreciation to Tan Sri Musa for his service in the police, spanning over a period of 41 years.
"I would be very glad if he could lead the proposed academy and I believe he has the capability to make it a renowned police training academy in the world," he said.
Musa said the time had come for him to retire from the police force after four decades of service.
Speaking to reporters after the announcement by Hishammuddin, Musa said he had given his best to the force. "Now, the time has come for me to retire; it's the right age to retire."
Musa said he hoped that his successor would continue with the programmes set out for the force including the police restructuring process.
Asked what was the biggest challenge during his service, Musa said leading the police force was itself a huge challenge.
Meanwhile, Ismail said he was ready for the task ahead and thanked the government for the confidence in him.
"The post of IGP is trust and a huge responsibility. God willing, I will discharge my duty to the best of my ability to ensure the country remains safe and peaceful," he said.

Sebagai seorang yang sentiasa mempunyai keyakinan kepada PDRM, saya mengucapkan 'Selamat Bersara' kepada Tan Sri Musa. Segala jasa Tan Sri, samada dalam bentuk perancangan maupun pelaksanaan, akan difahami dan disokong akhirnya. Rakyat negara ini yang TIDAK berprejudis tetap akan menghargai sumbangan Tan Sri selama ini.

Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan dan azam baru kepada Tan Sri untuk menghadapi alam selepas bersara. Saya pasti Tan Sri tidak akan teragak-agak untuk tampil semula ke hadapan jika sekiranya negara memerlukan khidmat tenaga serta pengalaman Tan Sri itu.

Selamat Bersara Tan Sri ! I wish you all the best !
