MCPF reveals RM98 million alleged police malpractice

sun2surf | ....MCPF executive council member Tan Sri Robert Phang said he received letters which are a compilation of the malpractice on July 23 and the sender, whom he declined to disclose, had requested him to hand over the letters to Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar, Home Ministry secretary-general Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof and Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

"The whistleblower alleged that the logistic department of the police force had failed to comply with the standard operating procedure (SOP) when conducting procurement including the buying of dogs during the general election (in March).

"Allegations have also named six high-ranking officers ranging from ASP (Assistant Superintendent of Police) to CP (Commissioner of Police)," he told a press conference with former founding president of Transparency International Malaysia Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim.

Phang said he had also consulted the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) and was told to hand over the documents to the agency for investigation.

"If one government agency does not follow the SOP, it will lead to malpractice and corruption.

Phang said in view of the recent crackdown on the Immigration scandal and the government's commitment to prevent and fight malpractice as well as corruption, he had discussed the matter with Institute of Integrity Management director-general Datuk Dr Mohd Tap Salleh and Tunku Abdul Aziz.

"We decided that (the best way to uphold) transparency, is to call a press conference to tell the public about it."... selanjutnya.
