Dr Mahathir stands by his decision to appoint Hamid Bador as IGP
  • 3 years ago
Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad has defended his move to appoint Abdul Hamid Bador as the inspector-general of police (IGP) under his then Pakatan Harapan government.

The Langkawi MP said he had selected Hamid out of confidence in the then Special Branch deputy director's capabilities to restore the police's image which had been tarnished by corruption.
