Musa claimed that the police now not only heed the IGP but also have to report to government servants outside the force.
He said the police should remain apolitical and not let any political influences seep into the force.
“I’m not hitting at the government. Nobody called me personally (to discuss) and there’s nothing on the paper (reporting change). I want to see police force improved. I don’t want things to be politicised because the police force needs to be improved for the sake of the people,” he said.
“If you want proof, you have to read it in the (news)papers, there are enough proof (of government interference). Now even the police are confused when the chief secretary of the KDN (Home Ministry) directs the police and the police complain to me.
“Perception comes from a real person’s action. So it (interference) is real,” he added.

PETALING
JAYA (Dec 10, 2012): Former inspector-general of police (IGP) Tan Sri
Musa Hassan (pix) has called on the police and Home Ministry to publicly
disclose all crime statistics so as to not confuse people about the
actual crime situation in the country.
“The police should disclose all statistics as the people would like to know why there are street crimes around when the NKRA (National Key Results Area) showed that the crime is dropping.
“We do not say that they (government) are manipulating the statistics but the people might be confused if they don’t reveal all the reports,” he told a press conference here today.
Expressing his backing for the Malaysian Crime Watch Group (MyWatch), a non-governmental organisation which aims to educate and increase awareness on the preparation and prevention of crime, he said a public awareness campaign is important in helping the government and police combat crime at the grassroots level.
