Cops: Stamp out radicalism


SAC Ayob Khan: ‘Our job has nothing to do with politics. We leave politics to politicians. Our job is to safeguard the country’s security. So when we say the threat of IS is real, it is.’

THE police have been dealing with a crisis of perception in their fight against the scourge of Islamic State (IS) militants. Its announcement that the June 28 Movida nightclub bombing in Puchong was the work of IS was greeted with a massive dose of public scepticism.

People questioned why militants would pick a nondescript out-of-town target rather than a busy nightclub in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, or even Bangsar, that could inflict maximum damage.
