KUALA PILAH: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has confirmed he will step down on June 22, ending a two-year term as head of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Razarudin, 61, said he chose not to extend his contract, citing the wishes of his 86-year-old mother, Rahmah Abdul Rahman, as a key reason. The final marching-out ceremony is scheduled for Friday (June 20).
"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 told reporters at the IGP Madani 2025 Village Adoption Harmony Programme in Kampung Parit Seberang here on Sunday (June 15).
He said he had conveyed his decision to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and believed it was time for someone new to take over.
Razarudin was appointed in June 2023 on a two-year contract following his retirement, replacing Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani as Malaysia's 14th IGP.
Born in Dengkil, Selangor, in 1963, he holds a master's degree in social science (policing studies) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. – Bernama

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has confirmed that his term will end on June 22. According to Sinar Harian, Razarudin said he would not extend his contract out of respect for his mother's wishes. 'My mother asked me not to continue (as IGP). I've lived with her a long time and when she said that, I took it as a wish (from her). 'I wouldn't dare go against her,' he was quoted as saying at a community event in Kampung Parit Seberang, Kuala Pilah, today. Razarudin said his decision had been communicated to home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. 'There's no need to extend the contract. Two years as IGP is enough. It's time for a successor,' he said, adding that a handover ceremony had been tentatively scheduled for June 20. Speculation had been rife after media reports quoted sources as saying a handover ceremony and final march-past would be held at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Centre (Pulapol) next Friday.

He had held various key positions in the past, including assistant director of D9 criminal investigation department at Bukit Aman, deputy commander of the Special Task Force on Organised Crime, Penang CID chief, and Sabah deputy police commissioner. He later served as Perak deputy police chief before becoming the state's top cop. From 2021 to 2023, he led Bukit Aman's narcotics crime investigation department before being promoted to deputy IGP.
