No such thing as 'my man' in police force, says top cop

There is no such term as "my man" or "orang saya" in the police force, Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said today.

He said the practice of using the terms should not become a culture in the police force, and that all officers and personnel should instead be treated equally.

"It is an unhealthy culture. I ask all district police chiefs, department heads, and personnel to do away with calling someone 'my man' or 'orang saya'. 

"I ask that they be under the leadership of (Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan).

"There are no IGP or district police chief favourites because all officers and staff are working for the police force under me," he said in his speech at the handing over of duties for the Selangor police chief and Selangor Perkep chairman.

Hussein Omar Khan was appointed as the new Selangor police chief effective today.
 
Acryl Sani said the appointment of Hussein, a senior police officer with extensive experience, was a step towards overcoming future challenges.

"I believe that the Selangor police contingent is now in capable hands," he added.

Hussein meanwhile said he would perform his new role to the best of his ability.

Hussein was previously Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department deputy director (intelligence/operations), and National Disaster Management Agency operations director.
