YOURSAY ‘Musa, no matter how you put it, you are an accomplice in crime... and worse, you did it wearing the uniform of the most senior law enforcer.'

When ex-IGP was haunted by 'Godfather'

your say Keturunan Malaysia: Retired IGP (inspector-general of police) Musa Hassan, no matter how you put it, you are an accomplice in crime... willingly and/or unwilling. And worse, you did it wearing the uniform of the most senior law enforcer.

The least you can do now is to spill out everything you know and had went through. We will wait and see your eventual worth to Malaysians, whom you have betrayed wholesale.

Odin: You are midway there, Musa. Now please go the whole hog. Hold a press conference for journalists from both the MSM (mainstream media) and independent online news portals. Reveal all and name names.

Malaysians are very forgiving. They will ignore all your past misdeeds and salute you when they meet you on the streets. Now, surely, you would want to be respected, rather than being reviled, wouldn't you?

Sarajun Hoda: If this man can be believed, he has confirmed a lot of our suspicion.

First, our police are corrupted to the core. Second, politicians harbour, support and gains benefits from gangsters.

Third, the Umno government has no will to reform the police and other enforcement agencies to serve the people but only their political and financial masters. Fourth, MCA creates the greater evils in the country.

MCA ministers are there in government to facilitate money-making by unscrupulous gangs in the most illegal ways possible. Remember PKFZ (Port Klang Free Zone)? Private jetties in Selangor? Yet transport ministers and housing and local government ministers are always MCA politicians.

Finally, the BN government rots to the core. He himself served the corrupt in the Anwar Ibrahim case and benefited the most.

Democrat: "Yes, it still exists. I did expose it. I sounded this out to (several) ministers and even to (premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) ... I took the stand that ‘I would do what I was directed'. If there was no directive, I would do it my way," he said.

I think this explains everything. IGPs are always directed by the PM and home minister. Anyone who says they do it their way, especially when it comes to handling opposition politicians, is lying.

Jack loo: Dear Tan Sri, why didn't you make police reports on politicians interfering with the police? It is not too late and I dare you to lodge the reports now.

Anonymous #732156: "Anyway, who gives the money lenders their licences? It is the Housing and Local Government Ministry," said Musa.

Why are money lenders' licences not given by the Ministry of Finance, Bank Negara Malaysia or even by Polis di-Raja Malaysia?

There should be better control to prevent loan sharking from getting out of hand and creating so much social problems. The authorities should best cancel or discontinue issuing such ‘bloodsucking' money-lender licences.

BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia) should allow more banking licences to new players, rather than having the few banks monopolise and bully the market, fixing their own conditions by charging customers rates differently.

Tell the Truth: The things he says makes me want to puke. He is talking like he is such an angel. Please lah !

Malaysiakini, I would rather you not have any news than to interview this man who terrorised his own officers for telling the truth.

Even when he dies, he will not have a clean name for himself because of what he has done to the rakyat, and especially what he did to Anwar. I didn't have the stomach to finish reading this man's ‘vomit'.

Armageddon: It's hard to believe you, Musa, since we also saw some unfair treatment you gave to Anwar. An honest police officer will be truly professional in all aspects of his duties and not limited to gangsterism only.

Compass: You're kidding, right? Which stupid, wealthy underworld figures would buy influence among opposition politicians? It will land them in jail faster and surer.

Come on, Musa, you can mention the BN politicians. That, everyone knows. No need to look good by dragging the opposition politicians too.

Musa: Protesters shouldn't be beaten after arrest

Abasir: I almost agree with Musa Hassan. We "don't know who were in the crowd. Anyone can use Bersih's name... all they need is to put on a Bersih T-shirt."

From the way things turned out, we can conclude that the police were in the crowd, in Bersih T-shirts... with instructions to create trouble, instigate violence and trigger the assault. Musa knows the truth.

Ferdtan: What nonsense is Musa talking about communists infiltrating the Bersih 3.0 rally? My family and the many friends who were there want to declare: "We are no communists."

As a once-professional top police chief, he cannot make such an ambiguous claim without concrete evidence.

Musa cannot just surmise that there were extremist elements infiltrating with the protesters. If that is the standard of how he carried out his duties as IGP in the past, we wonder whether there were innocent detainees arrested during his tenure as the top police officer?

You can talk until the cow comes home, but we still don't believe you nor the official version from the BN government.

CiViC: Yes, the police are not supposed to beat up protesters after arrest, but they do it before arrest.

Indeed, why the need to beat up protesters at all? Only BN's God knows. From the way they are acting, they clearly have a different God.
