PETALING JAYA – The public has welcomed the warning by Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain to weed out corrupt cops.

Shuhaily recently reprimanded officers under his charge after he was notified that some may be in cahoots with individuals linked to the underworld.

Speaking at a closed-door policing conference at Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang recently with CID officers throughout the country, Shuhaily claimed that some officers were willing to put the lives of their comrades in danger by collaborating with syndicates.

“Having a clean police force is vital for the country and for the people’s wellbeing.

“Many have heard stories about the police and I am sure a large number of Malaysians know the term ‘duit kopi’.

“Duit kopi has become a norm in our culture and is surely destroying the nation,” said Norman Tan, a researcher with a public university here.

Tan, 28, said police play a key role in maintaining peace and order in the country and being free of corruption is crucial in ensuring they are able to effectively carry out their duties.

He said corruption had become so entrenched in some quarters of society and needed an all-out concerted effort to eradicate.

“I personally believe it would be impossible to weed out corruption from our society, but at least we could work together to reduce it.

“Living beyond one’s means has become a way of life for many Malaysians and to maintain this kind of lifestyle, some resort to illegal means to make money, which is also through corruption,” said Ibrahim Sidek, a civil servant from Putrajaya.

Ibrahim, 46, said enforcement bodies like the police should be a welcome and reassuring sight for the public and not someone to fear.

“I think this is because of the impression the public has of them. There are so many stories about ‘duit kopi’ to such an extent that many do not want to deal with certain authorities at all,” he said.

Rahmah Ghazali said it was unfair to label all the apples as rotten just because there were a few rotten ones in the basket.

“To me personally, I feel it takes two hands to clap. When the supply stops, so will the demand. We have to weed the corruption culture out of society. Otherwise, it will continue,” she said.

Rahmah, 58, a retired teacher, said she had personally encountered some good, honest policemen.

“There was a time my house was broken into and the policemen who assisted me were very good. They were very professional and helpful.

“That is why I believe we cannot brand the entire force just because of a few bad ones,” she said.

Robinson Andrews, a software engineer from Bangsar, said to stop corrupt practices in any organisation, it was important to go after the head and not just the tail.

“What is the point of going after the sardines when the sharks are still roaming free?

“Once you get rid of the sharks, the sardines will run for cover. This is what needs to be done.

“It is encouraging to have someone like Mohd Shuhaily, but he cannot catch the sharks alone,” he said.

Andrews, 53, said he had encountered both good cops and bad ones.

“For some, there is no hanky-panky at all and they are very firm in carrying out their duties.

“However, there are those who you know are dishonest and would rather ‘settle’ the violation with you than issue a summons,” he added.

Overall, most of those who spoke to The Vibes welcomed the statement by the CID director but feel it is an uphill task which requires everyone’s commitment. – The Vibes, October 10, 2023

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9, 2023: Why are top cops talking about officers and men who live beyond their means but remain as NATO (No Action Talk Only)?

Is the Police Internal Affairs a toothless tiger for show only? What about the Anti-Corruption Commission?

When cops live beyond their means of their income, the super luxuries that they enjoy are all too visible. So, what’s so difficult to investigate, gather evidence and prosecute?

Top cops from the Inspector-Generals of Police down to his senior officers have been talking or lamenting about “corrupt” cops in the force every now and then but no action.

In short, they are behaving like politicians, thinking that when they talk about it, all is fine and dandy for ther image of the force.

NATO remains as NATO, and no amount of talking will change public perception of the corrupt police force.

Tops cops who continue to just lamenting on the issue are just toothless seniors who are there to just warm the administration chairs.

The Polis di-Raja Malaysia’s public perception of a “corrupt force” continues to grow.

GEORGE TOWN – Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain today reprimanded officers under his charge after he was notified that some may be in cahoots with individuals linked to the underworld.

Shuhaily, 48, one of the young emerging officers within the Royal Malaysian Police corps, was the state top cop for three years before he was transferred to Kuala Lumpur earlier this year, as the city chief police officer before his ascension to his present post in Bukit Aman.

He also paid a courtesy call on his successor in Penang, Datuk Khaw Kok Chin, at the Penang police contingent headquarters here.

Speaking at a closed-door policing conference at Universiti Sains Malaysia with CID officers throughout the country recently, Shuhaily claimed that some officers were willing to put the lives of their comrades in danger by collaborating with syndicates.

In the past, the force has been rocked with allegations that some police officers were tipping off syndicates of incoming raids and intelligence operations.

Shuhaily, who has a unique way of leadership, used to attend public events in Penang astride a police heavy-duty motorcycle to set an example that he was one with his men.

He said that corruption is something which must be taken seriously.

“In other words, within this team, some are willing to kill each other for money. Now I tell you to change or be changed.”

Shuhaily said that he wants to do good and then move on where if what he leaves behind is something worthwhile to emulate, it is up to each officer to comprehend.

“Unsavoury things happen because there is no supervision at the lower levels (at the contingent and district levels) to monitor and observe the lifestyles of officers and their subordinates. How can a police sergeant afford an Alphard, Vellfire, or Mercedes? Have their superiors or supervisors ever asked how they can afford luxury vehicles?”

Shuhaily also urged the force to consider asking officers to declare their assets.

“Some bosses (superior officers) go and buy luxury cars together with their sergeants (with syndicate proceeds) and even choose their vehicle registration numbers together. This is what is happening in the force,” he said.

He urged all district CID heads to abide by the new directives which Bukit Aman is circulating on improving investigative techniques and on curbing any association with criminals.

He wants an end to any association with syndicates, saying stern action would be taken if there is evidence linking officers to such parties. – The Vibes, October 8, 2023
