PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Tan Sri Hamid Bador, who has just retired as Malaysia's police chief, has continued to attack unnamed politicians for trying to make the force do its political bidding.
Mr Hamid has now claimed in an interview that the refusal by the Special Branch - a unit within police headquarters - to carry out certain orders had led to threats to end the contract of the head of the intelligence unit.
He said in an interview with the Sinar Harian daily newspaper, published on Tuesday (May 4), that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was informed of the Special Branch's discontent at being turned into a political tool.
