KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador has spoken out against home minister Hamzah Zainudin’s interference in police matters.

This comes hours after Hamzah confirmed that he was the person in a leaked recording of a conversation on the reshuffle of the police force.

“This is what should be avoided. A minister cannot interfere with the management of daily tasks.

“I have already raised this with him (Hamzah). I already raised it with the chief secretary to the government. We have our bosses, we raised it to them but he still wants the power (to interfere). This is not good for the country,” said the outgoing IGP, who will retire on Monday.
