Name them, former IGP tells ex-con

Former IGP, Musa Hassan, has urged the ex-drug dealer complicit in bribing police officers in Malacca and Negeri Sembilan to reveal himself to the Malaysia Anti Corruption Commission (MACC).

Musa said that there was no point in hurling such accusations in the media without reporting it to the respective agency. He added that the man should not be afraid of disclosing himself to the authorities.

“What is the point of making such statements to the media but not going to the MACC? He should not be worried as he is protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act,” Musa said in a phone conversation.

Musa suggested that the man name every policeman involved in the drug-dealing syndicate.

“Do not hide or withhold names even if it involves high ranking police officers,” he added.

When asked if he was informed or aware of the matter during his tenure as head of the police force, Musa said that he never received any report from his top brass.

“If I was told of this matter, I would have taken swift and stern action against any of my man”.

On Monday FMT posted an exclusive report of a former drug pusher who claimed that he paid between RM30,000 and RM50,000 a month to the police for protection and information on police stakeouts.

He further claimed he had been in the drug syndicate for about three years, pushing drugs with the help of the police. Other than paying a lump sum each month, he claimed that the police would call him daily for cash in the thousands.
