(Bernama) - The Home Ministry today issued a show cause letter to China Press over its exclusive report that Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan had handed in his resignation letter.
“The report has been verified to be not true,” the ministry said in a statement here.
It added that China Press had been given seven days to give a written reply to the show cause letter which was issued under Section 8A of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 (Act 301).
Under the act, action can be taken against those responsible for publishing false news including the printer, publisher, editor and the writer.
If convicted, offenders are liable to be jailed not more than three year or fined not exceeding RM20,000 or both.
The news report published today had said that Musa would retire on Police Day on March 25 and would be succeeded by his deputy, Tan Sri Ismail Omar.
Quoting a source, the report further said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein had received the letter.
Musa and Hishammuddin today had denied any truth in the report.

whats the difference, lah. what if that excuse for a policeman did resign. is that so terrible for Hisshaft and the world will end? sheesh, that man is on a renewed contract and whether he goes before or when his term ends what's so important that Hisshaft has to appear on tv to admonish china press? doesnt he even think his extreme response, rather than laughing the whole thing off, speaks volumes of the dictatorial times we are in?
actually, why dont they all just GO LAH. quietly, or with a big bang no diff. just go.
but i like Hisshaft to go first and lead gani and musa (in alphabetical order) and najib can follow his cousin. better go sooner, people are no longer stupid, ignorant or lethargic any more, they want to see change and real improvement - not only in their lifetime, but especially in their children's and grandchildren's.
were policing is concerned all that musa has talked about is more men, more budget allocation --- so more money given, and training reduced to a ridiculous 3 mths (what can you teach a trainee in 3mths? they say on-job-training by seniors .... what!!!! teach these youngsters how to cut corners, how to solicit, how to carry balls???
meanwhile, crime investigations continues to be akin to an auction, going the way of whoever bids highest. and if the public prosecutors lose out in the bid they can still regain the advantage by bidding against the judiciary.
such a bloody mess all this is. surely there must be an ending - all stories good or frighteningly bad must have an ending. let's just pray hard ours doesnt follow thailand (actually, personally, i think that's democracy in action - something like a robin hood, some say corrupt, whose policies addressed rural poverty and offered empowerment which the rich, entrenched elite felt threatened and triggered royal disapproval (strikes a bell, anyone?). heavens forbid blood flowing in the streets of KL anytime, as surely it will in bangkok before the year is out. beware the ides of march!

To us Musang never existed --- so whether he lives or dies on the 25th of March really doesn't matter. What really boggles me is ---if your child ran to you to say that he or she had difficulty in breathing ---you would rush him or her to the Doc. As a father you sense a state of illness. You then feel heartened the treatment and medicines worked to cure that ailment.
However, now you and i know what Musang's values are!! It seems now you are part and parcel of the kingpin he is in the loan sharking , prostitution and gambling rings. Maybe you love friends like Tamby Chik and Musangs. Maybe to you rape, murder, death in custody is all"" frivolous"" as it does not hit close to your home. Maybe you enjoy the benefits they bring you.
Bodowi extended his term --so did your scumbag cousin!! Can you with your most misinterpreted Law Degree, explain to me why as a taxpayer i must support you and your heavy breasted blue uniformed
maggot????
So you deny now that the news is not true. It strikes me that it may not be true too---because as long as your scumbag cousin's involvement with Altantuya's death exists you may even keep the Musang embalmed on your cabinet .
To you Kris, with the rising , do prepare to flee the Country!!!!!!!!!!!!
