PUTRAJAYA (The Star) - Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has confirmed the appointment of Abdul Hamid Bador as the new Inspector-General of Police.

“The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has signed the appointment letter,” he said at the Labour Day celebrations at the Putrajaya Interna­­­­­­tional Conven­­tion Centre yesterday.

On Monday, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun paid a farewell visit to Dr Mahathir before his retirement this Saturday.

Mohamad Fuzi – who turns 60 on May 4 – was appointed IGP on Sept 4, 2017, taking over from Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

Suhakam is currently without commissioners, as their terms expired on April 25.

Commissioners’ terms typically run for three years, and the last round of appointments were made in July 2016 and backdated to April that year.
