SINGAPORE: Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has been conferred the Distinguished Service Order by Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the Istana on Wednesday (June 11).
The Singapore Police Force (SPF), in a statement on Friday (June 13) said that the Order, instituted in 1968, may be awarded in special circumstances to individuals who have performed acts of distinguished conduct outside Singapore.
"Under his leadership, the bilateral relationship between the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) and the SPF was strengthened, underpinned by close cooperation in the areas of investigation, intelligence exchanges, as well as capability building and training," the statement said.
The SPF said that Razarudin had emphasised the importance of close operational coordination between the two police forces, which had contributed to the fight against trans-national crime, drug trafficking and terrorism.
Singapore's Acting Commissioner of Police, Lian Ghim Hua, said the SPF deeply values its longstanding and steadfast partnership with the RMP.
"This close cooperation has strengthened our response to evolving cross-border challenges. We will continue to work closely with the RMP to combat transnational crime, as well as enhance joint operational effectiveness," Lian said in the statement.
During his stay in Singapore, Razarudin also made courtesy calls on Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and Lian. – Bernama

Police chief Razarudin Husain to step down on June 22
KUALA PILAH — Inspector General of Police (IGP) 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 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 today. 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 Inspector General of Police. Born in Dengkil, Selangor, in 1963, he holds a master's degree in social science (policing studies) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. — BERNAMA
