ACA summons Sgor CID chief over power abuse case
Selangor Criminal Investigations Department (CID) chief Abu Bakar Mustafa was today summoned to the Shah Alam Anti-Corruption Agency headquarters in relation to his abuse of power case.
Selangor Criminal Investigations Department (CID) chief Abu Bakar Mustafa was today summoned to the Shah Alam Anti-Corruption Agency headquarters in relation to his abuse of power case.
According to a source, Abu Bakar, who was at the agency from about 12.45pm-1.30pm, was called in to 'assist investigations'.
The source said the case is still being investigated and no arrest have been made.
Rumours have been abuzz since last week that Abu Bakar, who has been implicated in a case involving a woman and loan shark, would be charged.
It was previously reported that the woman, who is believed to have a personal relationship with Abu Bakar, had taken a RM30,000 'friendly loan' from the money-lender using the CID chief's name.
Later, she refused to pay back the loan and threatened to use her high-level police connections against the loan shark.
Sources said when the money-lender demanded payment, he was allegedly arrested and held at the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam, where Abu Bakar is based.
Following this, the money-lender's wife had gone to the headquarters to inquire about her husband and was allegedly asked to pay RM50,000 to secure his release.
The disgruntled woman later filed a report with the Shah Alam district police headquarters and the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA).
Subsequently, sources claimed Abu Bakar had allegedly ordered that the investigation papers from the district headquarters pertaining to the report be handed over to him.
Abu Bakar, who is currently on leave, has also lodged a police report claiming that he had nothing to do with the matter. It is also believed that the woman linked to him had been arrested.
Voluntary retirement
Meanwhile, Federal Police Director of Management Kamaruddin Ali was today reported as saying that police personnel who are unable to serve the force effectively should retire voluntarily.
He said the police force could do without these indisciplined personnel who were unable to control their urge and became involved in activities which tarnish the image of the force.
"If you are unable to live up to the public trust, I advise you to retire from the force voluntarily as we do not need you.
"We need police personel who have integrity," he added.
In view of numerous complaints against the police, the government has set-up a special commission to collect feedback from the people and formulate ways to enhance the force.
