KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 – DAP’s Lim Kit Siang today accused the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan of targetting top Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders over last Saturday’s anti-ISA rally to get his contract renewed.
In a statement today, Lim said that Musa’s declaration that top PR leaders were responsible for Saturday’s anti-ISA rally was a sign that he was on a personal vendetta against the opposition for campaigning against the renewal of his service.
Yesterday Musa reportedly said that 11 VIPs including Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be called in as part of an investigation into Saturday’s rally which was attended by some 20,000 people.
“If further evidence is needed, Musa has provided the latest testimony of the personal vendetta he is waging against me and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders,” said Lim.
Last week PR parliamentarians convened a roundtable to demand the government not to renew Musa’s service for his failure to curb increasing crime rate.
Musa, who reached retirement age in 2007, was given an extension of two years which will expire next month.
“Musa has come to the conclusion, and he makes no bones about it in public, that the Pakatan Rakyat leaders from PKR, PAS and DAP, namely Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and I, are the ‘masterminds’ of Saturday’s gathering,” said Lim.
“Is Musa offering the ‘heads’ of the Pakatan Rakyat leaders from PKR, PAS and DAP to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the Barisan Nasional government in exchange for another renewal as IGP in September?” asked Lim.
The Ipoh Timor MP added that if Musa’s service is renewed it will be the first time in the country that the No 1 policeman is given two extensions.
“Isn’t this itself a terrible indictment of Musa’s failure to groom a new generation of top police officers in the country?” said Lim. - MalaysianInsider
