PETALING JAYA, May 3 PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador’s call for the Malaysia Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) to probe “jumping” politicians must be looked into it.
“Abdul Hamid’s latest reprimand is not something new for us, it only reinforces and confirms our previous statement, the ball is now at the feet of MACC.
PETALING JAYA: The police force should not bow and scrape before politicians or those in high positions just because of our culture of respecting officials, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
He said Malaysians are used to giving respect to leaders, so much so that their demands and orders are followed even if they are wrong.
“The police are given the freedom to operate with no interference from politicians.
“However, we are too used to giving respect to leaders, doing things that are not supposed to be done just because the order came from someone in power. That is the problem, ” the former premier said on Monday (May 3).
