Inspector-General of Police

[edit]

He took over the post from Mohd Bakri Omar in September 2006; Hassan had previously worked as Deputy Inspector-General under him.[3]

Soon after he was investigated on allegations of corruption related to the release of three members of illegal betting syndicates, however, Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail ordered the Anti-Corruption Agency to close the investigations in July 2007 for lack of evidence.[4] Two months later, it was announced that he would receive a two-year extension of his term to 13 September 2008, despite having reached the mandatory retirement age.[2]

In March 2010, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said that the government will find a replacement for Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan shortly.[5][6][7][8]

Finally, on 13 September 2010 Musa resigned as Inspector-General of Police after serving for more than 3 years. Subsequently, his deputy, Tan Sri Ismail Omar, was promoted to be the new Inspector-General.[9] On 29 April, Musa was appointed Pakatan Rakyat's security advisor.[10]

Post-Retirement

[edit]

After his retirement from the police service, Musa has continued to accept many speaking invitations to discuss topics related to crime trends and integrity in the police force. From late 2021 to mid-2022, he was involved with an organization opposing human trafficking and scam syndicates.

Family

[edit]

He received his education in Kuala Lumpur, and has two brothers, Fuad Hassan, a politician (1949–2014), and a younger one, Jalaluddin Hassan (born 1954), an actor.[12] He was from Bukit Bintang Boys' Secondary School.
