Is govt probing ex-IGP’s claims of corruption in politics, asks Mat Sabu

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR: Amanah president Mohamad Sabu wants to know if there is any ongoing investigation into former inspector-general of police Abdul Hamid Bador’s claim of corruption in politics.

At his last press conference as the nation’s top cop in April, Hamid had urged the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate politicians who had “party hopped”, saying corruption was “everywhere” in politics.

Mohamad (PH-Kota Raja) told the Dewan Rakyat it had been months since Hamid’s claim but there did not seem to be any probe into his allegations.

“Hamid was not just some police sergeant in Gua Musang or a corporal in Tawau. He was the IGP, revealing how corruption and irregularities were taking place in politics,” Mohamad, better known as Mat Sabu, said in his debate on the 2022 Supply Bill.

“I don’t see any serious investigations or that any information has been given to Parliament on whether the former IGP was talking nonsense.
