Bar Council president AG Kalidas said that the Malaysian Bar viewed the claims made by former inspector-general of police, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador, seriously.
"Police officers should only act in accordance with the law and obey legitimate orders and must be answerable to the law for their conduct. They owe their duty and loyalty to the people of Malaysia, not to politicians," he said. "Thus, the Malaysian Bar calls for the establishment of an RCI to investigate the allegations of political interference in the PDRM, with a view of recommending sound institutional structures, transparent and accountable governance and best practices, to eliminate any such improper interference.
