PETALING JAYA: A group of veteran Malaysian journalists condemned the Israeli military’s bombardment of homes, offices and other infrastructure, including the building that housed the offices of foreign media such as The Associated Press and Al Jazeera.
SHAH ALAM: Not being able to fulfill his pledge to bring fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low back to Malaysia remains one of Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador s biggest regrets.
The Inspector-General of Police said he had made the promise as the police were conducting an operation to bring Low back but the effort fell through. I even flew to the country (where he was hiding) to discuss with the authorities there in an effort to bring him back. Normally such a request will be reciprocrated by authorities of another country but it was not in this case.
SHAH ALAM: Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador is looking forward to retirement and focusing on his hobby - farming.
The Inspector-General of Police, who is expected to retire in May, said after almost two years as the country s top cop, he was ready to retire. I can t wait to do more farming once I retire, he said in an interview with Tan Sri Johan Jaafar during a Sinar Harian Facebook Live session on Wednesday (March 17).
Abdul Hamid reminded all police personnel and officers to carry out their duties with integrity. Use the authority given to help people, instead of victimising them.
SHAH ALAM: Police personnel and officers with high integrity will be able to withstand any challenges in the course of their duties, says Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
The Inspector-General of Police said more officers and personnel are becoming more aware of the need to reject certain negative cultures in the police force. Senior officers such as Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay are a good example. I knew him for a long time since he was in Special Branch. He is firm, brave and he has high integrity. I expect such officers and personnel will be able to face and overcome any challenge, he said in an interview with Tan Sri Johan Jaafar during a Sinar Harian s Facebook live show on Wednesday (March 17).
KLANG: Fighting the Covid-19 pandemic goes beyond political inclination, says Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said it was important for both the Perikatan Nasional Federal Government and the Pakatan Harapan Selangor government to work together.
He said he was open to the synchronisation and sharing of data between the Federal Government’s MySejahtera and the state government’s Selangkah applications.
Both applications were developed to monitor the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In my first meeting with Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, we highlighted about synchronisation of the data.
“Recently, when we met up with Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, it was raised again to combine data and analysis,’’ Amirudin said in a dialogue on Sunday (Feb 7) with The Star adviser Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai, Sinar Harian managing editor Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub and former Utusan Melayu group chief editor Tan Sri Johan Jaafar.
