Former IGP Musa Hassan has left the crime prevention NGO MyWatch and the reason for his departure to form a similar NGO – Malaysia Community Crime Care Association (MCCCA) – is unknown.

However, a MyWatch official told FMT that the NGO had been allegedly used by certain quarters as a front for their personal gains.

As such, MyWatch is having a meeting this morning where the pro-tem committee will be discussing on the NGO’s structure and revisit its vision and mission on combating crime in the country as the direction of MyWatch was unclear.

Musa’s departure also saw the majority of MyWatch members crossing over to MCCCA, with former MyWatch secretary-general V Ravindran informing FMT that his leaving MyWatch to join MCCCA as a committee member was due to his being sidelined in several MyWatch matters.

The former IGP helmed MyWatch after its patron R Sri Sanjeevan was shot in an attempted assassination in his hometown Bahau at Negeri Sembilan in June.
