IGP must explain IGP murder probe
Athi Shankar, Free Malaysia Today
GEORGE TOWN: Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan must explain what the police have been doing for the past 36 years concerning their probe into the assassination of former top cop Abdul Rahman Hashim.
DAP stalwart Karpal Singh said the current IGP owed an explanation to the public given that his recent statement contradicted that of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
He pointed out that Musa claimed that the case was closed as two members of the Parti Komunis Malaya allegedly responsible for Abdul Rahman’s murder on June 7, 1974, were arrested.
Musa was referring to Lim Woon Chong and Ng Foo Nam, who were jointly charged for the murder that took place in Kuala Lumpur.
However, Najib commented that it would be difficult to unearth new evidence in the case because it happened nearly four decades ago.
Picking on this contradiction, Karpal said: “Musa claimed that the cased was closed but Najib thinks otherwise. Najib believes that Lim and Ng were not responsible.”
“Musa owes the public an explanation on what the police have been doing for the past 36 years,” he told a press conference in Air Itam here today.
He indicated that Musa must also disclose the findings of police investigations into the murder mystery.
