COMMENT | Political interference in police force will estrange cops from society Modified4:36 am - COMMENT | Outgoing Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador’s recent call for the Police Force Commission to not be chaired by a "minister" to prevent political interference is a timely one. It appears from a news article that there may have been interference in the management of the police force in the form of appointments of state chief police officers (CPOs), Bukit Aman directors and IGP. His proposal to have a non-politician as the commission chairperson is a wise call - as he so succinctly put it: “If a minister chairs the commission, political elements will seep into it.”
