Patriot praises IGP for saying SB won't be tool to silence dissent

PETALING JAYA: The National Patriots Association (Patriot) has praised the Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador for saying that “the Special Branch will not be used as a tool by the government to silence dissidents as was done in the previous administration”.

Referring to the IGP's assertion that “politicians are the most notorious ones and were responsible for the rise of racial and religious hatred, and they are likened to ‘chameleons’ when it came to playing the race and religious cards”, the veterans organisation said the IGP was frank and honest.
