IGP’s contract renewed because of ‘excellent’ job

But the DAP’s Lim Kit Siang, who had spearheaded a campaign to remove Musa, responded by calling the IGP “incompetent” because the country’s crime rate had soared in recent years.

Despite even government statistics showing the crime rate was high and a major public concern, Abu Seman defended the IGP and claimed the IGP had performed to expectations.
