Don’t protect gambling syndicates, IGP warns state police chiefs
KUALA LUMPUR: The law will come down hard on state police chiefs if they are caught offering “protection services” to underworld gambling syndicates, Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun warned today.
Among other stern measures, the police chiefs risk being relieved of their positions or transferred out of the state, he said.
“If I am forced to transfer state police chiefs (in the fight against gambling), I will do so.
“I will take action against those involved in such activities (gambling).”
Fuzi issued this reminder at the “Breakfast Talk Integrity” event held at the Police Training Centre here today.
Fuzi said the fight against gambling, syndicated crime and gangsterism was among the current focus of the force.
On Sept 27, police formed a special committee headed by Deputy IGP Noor Rashid Ibrahim to eradicate rampant gambling activities nationwide.
Fuzi said the Department of Integrity and Standard Compliance (JIPS), set up in 2014, would help build the police reputation as the nation’s leading enforcement agency.
“To ensure service quality, especially among frontline workers, JIPS will carry out integrity inspections from time to time.
“Such proactive efforts are needed to make certain that policemen adhere to the rules,” he said.
Also at the event were Noor Rashid, immigration director-general Mustafar Ali and Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia vice-chancellor Gen (R) Zulkifli Zainal Abidin.
