Tan Sri Musa Hassan, the IGP (Inspector General of Police) made a startling revelation in an interview with Mingguan Malaysia, the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia when he said that there is actually a ‘third party’ who is intervening with the Police force and making demands as well, saying that they could be politicians or certain individuals (pihak politics atau pihak-pihak tertentu). He said “The efforts at putting pressure on the Royal Malaysian Police Force (RMP) may derive from being uncomfortable with orders that he had given. So there have been some orders issued directly to officers under me without the knowledge of the top management (of the police force). To me, this is trend is an erroneous one, because in the police force, there are certain (rules pertaining to) commands and supervision. The only one allowed to issue orders is the IGP, according to the laws. If there is a third party trying to intervene, it could ruin the police. Because at this time, (police) personnel are confused (as to who to obey) as there are other (sources of) authority that are issuing them orders,”
He added that “If a person in authority gave orders, then it is that person is responsible for issuing those orders, and legal action can be taken against the person in question. But if there is a third party giving orders and yet we do not know who they are, then if (police) officers are doing things wrong, then my officers will become victims. This is because kesalahan yang dilakukan, mengikut arahan yang tidak sepatutnya (the offense is following those orders that should not have been issued). If those who issued the orders then deny that they were behind the directives, then this will adversely affect the police force.”
He also commented on the recent report published by China Press that he had indeed resigned where he said “Something that I had not done, I was said to have done. It is as if some quarters want to rush me into leaving this position (as IGP). We know when we are supposed to go, so there is no need to speed up the process. But if someone does want to speed up that process, I need to receive the order from the government to retire early. If that is the case, I will retire (early). That's all I can say. But on the part of the government, nothing has happened,”
