BUKIT Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Amar Singh Ishar Singh gave the police force a heartfelt farewell today, saying that the Royal Malaysia Police will always be close to his heart.
“Although my duties have ended, PDRM will still be close to my heart. This is because my grandfather, father, and I joined the police force,” Amar said at a handing-over-of-duties ceremony in the Police Training Centre today.
Bukit Aman CCID deputy director Saiful Azly Kamaruddin takes over from him effective today.
Amar, from Ulu Kinta, Perak, started his career in the police force as a cadet assistant superintendent of police on February 2, 1983.
His 35-year career saw him as Pulapol Kuala Lumpur commandant in 2007, Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief in 2010, Bukit Aman CID deputy director in 2014 and Kuala Lumpur police chief in 2016.
Amar became the first Punjabi to become CCID director last year, on October 13. He was supposed to retire on June 6 this year, but received a six-month extension which officially runs out tomorrow.
He told reporters after the ceremony that leading the police investigation into the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) would go down as one of his most memorable, challenging, and biggest experiences.
Present at the ceremony were Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Noor Rashid Ibrahim, and senior officers. – Bernama, December 5, 2018.
