KOTA BARU: Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order deputy director (operations) Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat has been appointed as the Kelantan police chief, effective Tuesday (Oct 29).
Mohd Yusoff succeeded Deputy Comm Mohd Ali Tamby, who had been acting as Kelantan police chief following the mandatory retirement of Datuk Muhamad Zaki Harun.
The handover-of-duties ceremony took place at the Kelantan police contingent headquarters, witnessed by Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.
In his address, Ayob Khan praised Mohd Yusoff as a highly experienced senior officer, having previously served as Klang Utara OCPD and Marine Police commander at Bukit Aman.
"I would like to remind Mohd Yusoff that rank and position are a trust and heavy responsibility, not a means for personal gain or to flaunt status.
"These roles are only temporary in this world, so they must be carried out with integrity, honesty and transparency,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mohd Yusoff expressed his gratitude to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, Ayob Khan, and the Royal Malaysia Police’s top leadership for their confidence in him.
"The role of police chief carries significant responsibility, and I’m committed to upholding this trust with integrity to ensure public safety and security in this state while also strengthening public trust in police services,” he said. – Bernama
