KUALA LUMPUR: Several chiefs in Malaysia's police force are expected to be removed next month, including the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), as the new Pakatan Harapan government seeks to "cleanse" the organisation, sources said.

Three departments that are believed to be graft-ridden are also expected to abolished, with a handful of department heads sacked, the sources who insisted on anonymity told The Straits Times.
