Razarudin floats police ministry proposal
Grand send-off: Razarudin with his wife Puan Sri Zainah Othman at the official retirement send-off after the handing-over ceremony at the Police Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star KUALA LUMPUR: A formal proposal has been submitted to the Prime Minister and Home Minister for the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to be placed under a dedicated ministry, says Tan Sri Razarudin Husain. The newly retired Inspector-General of Police said he proposed the move because of PDRM's size and significance with other key sectors such as defence, health and education. He said the idea is in line with international practices in countries such as China, Brazil, Vietnam, South Korea and Brunei where police forces are overseen by their own ministries. 'I see this as a crucial step to ensure PDRM remains relevant and capable, especially in adapting to the demands of globalisation and the digital era,' Razarudin said in his speech during the handing-over ceremony and official retirement send-off yesterday. Razarudin handed over the reins as the country's top cop to Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail. He also called for Malaysia to host the Interpol General Assembly in 2028. 'Four officers will be directly involved with the Interpol Joint Working Group. 'As a show of trust, confidence and commitment of our officers, the leadership of the force will suggest to the government via the Home Minister that Malaysia hosts the Interpol General Assembly in 2028,' he said. Razarudin also said that enhancing training and human capital development of the police force begins at the basic policing training programme level through the police diploma programmes. 'Currently, one out of four diploma programmes, namely the Diploma in Police Management, successfully obtained accreditation under the Malaysian Qualifications Agency in May. 'The remaining accreditation for the three programmes is expected to be decided at the end of July,' he said. 'For the same purpose, instructors at the Police College are also required to possess at least a bachelor's degree to meet the necessary competency standards.'
