In 1987, one day before Black Monday (21 October 1987) and police is going to mass arrests of politician under Operation Lalang.
When the whole Malaysia is in tension. Some one shooting with M-16 in Chow Kit Road in Kuala Lumpur occur. I remember I watch on the TV that the then Inspector-General of Police ( IGP )appear on the crime scene himself alone to observe the situation himself. He really brave and willing to risk his life. He can delegate this to his subordinate in such dangerous situation but he didn't.
One week ago. The ex-IGP write an article on The Star. It demonstrated what call competitive. I feel all civil servant should have read such article.
Ex-IGP is a former British train civil servant. However, after so many years of independent. Our civil service has deteriorated.
If you read Tun Hanif Omar article, it is difficult to imagine how Malaysia crime rate has come to this level if police force is lead by such highly competitive person. However, after Tun Hanif Omar retired. There is at least two more person heading the police force. Who should be responsible to the deterioration?
Today is second anniversary of Abdullah become our Prime Minister. When Abdullah become Prime Minister, he make a surprise visit to government department. Everybody hope he would bring reform to civil services.
Then, a victory in general election show support of people to him. Unfortunately, a large number of his team has lost in UMNO election, which slow down the reform process. Present IGP's son arrest by Anti-Corruption agency also affect the spirit of Abdullah's team. Clearly, reform is not an easy task. Hope the present IGP would continue what suppose to be do.
On the 2nd anniversary of Abdullah become Prime Minister. It is a real test of Abdullah on how to reshuffle the cabinet and move on.
