AFTER almost two years as the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador’s tenure comes to an end tomorrow. He sat down with Sunday Star on Friday to reflect on leading the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the challenges he faced and the achievements he notched up.

> Are you satisfied with your performance as the IGP, especially in ensuring that the PDRM is clean and trusted by the rakyat?

I was given 24 months as IGP. Ever since the beginning I aimed to complete my mission or, at the very least, pave the way for the future in 24 months. I knew it was impossible to achieve 100% of my target in such a short time as the PDRM is a very big organisation.
