IGP won't forgive those who insult him - Malaysiakini

 

Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar today brushed aside an apology from a Twitter user who had allegedly insulted him, insisting that offenders will be punished.

"There is no forgiveness for anyone who abuses the Internet media to issue insults, condemnation or incitement.

"Wait for @PDRMsia's action," Khalid, who uses the twitter handle @KBAB51, said in a posting this evening.

Earlier today, Twitter user Viktor Wong had apologised to Khalid for insults hurled at the top cop yesterday.

"Hello both @PDRMsia @KBAB51, I am  retracting the suggestion on the bastardisation and apologise to you and all your members of the force," he said.

Yesterday, Wong, in an apparent reaction to the mass arrests in Penang, called Khalid "ruthless" and likened him to Heinrich Himmler, a leading military commander of the Nazi Party.

He also said that it was a "bastardisation" of the police force.

Himmler is said to have overseen the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust.

Shortly after the apparent insulting post, Khalid produced a photograph of the comment and instructed his officers to track down Wong and act against him, in a Twitter posting.

He also asked for action against  other Twitter users who called him a "BN dog".

Immediately after, the police through its official Facebook site acknowledged Khalid’s message and said it was in the midst of taking action.
