LETTER | Where is PDRM heading under its new IGP? A LETTER | Today in Malaysia, two positions are seen as highly watched – the inspector-general of police (IGP) and the chief commissioner of the MACC. Both positions come with high responsibilities and expectations, are stressful and among the toughest jobs in the public service. Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani ( above) was officially appointed as the new IGP on May 5, 2021. He became the 13th IGP, taking over the post from Abdul Hamid Bador, who served since May 2019. Our police force is tasked with maintaining law and order, protecting our lives and property. They put their lives on the line in performing their duties to serve the public. At times it seems like a thankless job as the plaudits are few and far between for the police personnel who tirelessly perform their duties.
