KUALA LUMPUR: The government has no plans to investigate former Inspector-general of Police Musa Hassan's allegation in relations of third parties in police operations during his 41-year tenure.
"The government is not planning to investigate the allegations made by the former IGP."The ministry has also no plans to take action against the allegation," Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in response to Lim Guan Eng's (DAP-Bagan) written question released today.
Musa, who had stepped down last September after heading the police force for four years, had revealed that officials from the Home Ministry were those among the third parties he was referring to.He said this had put the police force in a bad light and led to confusion within the force.He also claimed that the minister had given orders to his personnel without his knowledge, adding that they were from ministries "with personal interests and with bad intentions".Musa's revelation has drawn public concern, where the Opposition and civil society have urged him to lodge a police report on the matter.Musa also did not rule out the possibility that he would lodge a report on the matter.
Despite the claims, Hishammuddin denied that he was aware that his ministry was interfering in police matters.
He stressed that the ministry and the police have maintained good relationship with each other."Musa has never brought up the issue to the ministry, not even when I was leading the ministry all this while. I am of the opinion, and many have indicated so, that relations between my ministry and the police have been the best for a very long time," he was quoted as saying.
