KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 — Outgoing Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador today said that he was not informed about Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani’s appointment as the new IGP until the last minute.

In probably his last press conference as IGP, Abdul Hamid said that he only knew early this morning.

“Acryl only informed me this morning, I only got to know this morning. I think they (Home Ministry and Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin) were afraid that there will be potong jalan (cut in and interfere)... someone could have brought in an ‘excavator’ and constructed ‘new roads’,” he said.

Abdul Hamid said he thought that Acryl’s appointment would only be done on Monday.
