Saifuddin: New Deputy IGP to be named within days
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the new Deputy Inspector-General of Police will be announced soon after the selection process and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's views were completed. He said the post fell vacant after Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay retired, and 28 Commissioner-rank officers are eligible. In Kulim, he also said the stalled RM42 million Padang Serai health clinic project is entering the final stage of re-tendering.
