KUALA PILAH: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has confirmed he will step down on June 22 after two years at the helm.

He said he chose not to extend his contract, citing the wishes of his 86-year-old mother as a key reason. 

“This is my final official programme. It was always meant to be a two-year term and when my mother expressed that wish, I respected it.

“A mother’s words are a prayer, I wouldn’t go against her,” he said at the IGP Madani 2025 Village Adoption Harmony programme in Kampung Parit Seberang here yesterday, Bernama reported.

Razarudin, 61, said he had conveyed his decision to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He was appointed in June 2023 replacing Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

Born in Dengkil, Selangor, in 1963, he holds a master’s degree in social science (policing studies) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

The final marching-out ceremony is scheduled for June 20.
