PKR Youth calls on IGP to quit

A PKR Youth member wants the IGP to quit as he claims that the public has lost confidence in him.

GEORGE TOWN: A PKR Youth leader has called on the Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar to retire immediately, citing growing loss of public confidence in his leadership.

Negeri Sembilan PKR Youth exco member R Sri Sanjeevan wants Ismail to step aside gracefully and let his deputy Khalid Abu Bakar take over.

In his statement here today, he claimed that fear of crime has now gone viral among Malaysians.

Since the abolishment of the Emergency Ordinance, which allowed detention without trial, he noted that the crime rate had gone up.

He said police must do more to eliminate rising prostitution, illegal gambling, and other vice-related crimes.

But, instead of being action-orientated to combat crime, he criticised Ismail and Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein for merely paying only lip service to assure Malaysians that the country was safe.

He recalled that even former IGP Musa Hassan had claimed that Ismail and Hishammuddin had manipulated to produce irrelevant crime index to substantiate their fake claims.

He pointed out that Musa had also disclosed some top police officers’ alleged direct links with the underworld and mafia dons.

“Musa’s claims are seriouss. But what has the IGP done on this?” he asked.

Claiming that Ismail had lost control over his men, Sanjeevan rebuked the police disciplinary department for covering up many reported cases in the disguise of investigation.

He urged Ismail to produce facts and figures on the number of complaints lodged and action taken against his men.
