KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 — Newly-appointed Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohamad Fuzi Harun has given his commitment to look into issues relating to deaths in police custody and corruption in the force, according to news portal Malaysiakini. 

“Yes, definitely. I will look into them seriously,” he was quoted saying at an event in Cyberjaya this evening. 

“You have to be fair to me, this is my second day in office. I will be looking into all areas. I’m fully aware of the demands. We are definitely looking forward to doing whatever necessary to clear whatever issues people on the streets have. I will be proactive on all these issues.

“You have to give me time on this, not so long. I will spell out my priorities,” the former Special Branch chief reportedly said.
