Razaruddin says monitored ‘3R' cases weekly as IGP, but attacks against Faisal Halim and two other footballers remain unsolved
Speaking to Malay daily Utusan Malaysia, Razarudin said cases involving the so-called '3R' issues — race, religion, royalty — were top.
'I monitor them monitored weekly, by ensuring that investigations were completed within seven days and reports submitted to the Attorney General's Chambers, unless specific instructions are received requiring a shorter time frame of three to four days to verify the findings,' he was quoted saying.
He also highlighted other cases involving the Islamic faith, such as the deviant teachings linked to Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH).
In September last year, Bukit Aman announced a massive raid on 20 charity houses linked to GISBH in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, in which they rescued over 400 child residents and arrest nearly 200 people between the ages of 17 and 64.
Razarudin also listed the fatal shooting of Customs Department deputy director-general Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim in 2013 as a remaining cold case.
Shaharuddin was gunned down in a morning in April 2013, as one of two men on a motorcycle fired at close range when he stopped his four-wheel-drive vehicle at the traffic light at Lebuh Sentosa, Putrajaya.
To this day, no one has been charged with Shaharuddin's murder although over 40 people were arrested and quizzed, but police believe that he was killed because of his operations against smugglers and a car syndicate.
Razarudin also said that the police still cannot solve the attacks against footballers Faisal Halim, Safiq Rahim, and Akhyar Rashid.
'There have also been long-standing cases involving shootouts between gangsters in Kuala Lumpur and drug cartels fighting over power and territory, as well as the sale of counterfeit drugs,' he reportedly said.
Yesterday, former director of the Special Branch Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail was appointed as the new Inspector-General of Police on a two-year contract beginning this Monday.
Razarudin stepped down yesterday after a two-year term, previously succeeding Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

Eda Ezrin sets to return to music after release from Thai prison
20 Aug - Malaysian singer Eda Ezrin is ready to return to her music career now that she is free again, starting with the filming of a music video for her latest single next week. Eda Ezrin, real name Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan Ismail, said she has received numerous performance invitations in Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and several other states since her release from Narathiwat Prison in Thailand on 7 August. However, she will only be accepting offers in Kelantan for the time being. "I'm not ready to perform at venues that are far away, especially outside Kelantan," she told the New Straits Times. In addition to reviving her music career, the mother of two shared her intention to venture into business, with the full support of her husband. The "Bey Soba Bey" singer, her husband, and four others were released earlier this month after being detained for more than nine months in Thailand. The group was arrested by Sungai Golok police during a raid at a hotel in November last year, where 6,059 Yaba pills were seized. In March this year, the Narathiwat Provincial Court acquitted all six of them of drug possession charges. However, the Thai prosecution appealed the decision, resulting in an extended detention order of six months to allow more time for the prosecution to gather new evidence and witnesses. By the end of the extended detention on 6 August, the prosecution failed to produce any evidence, prompting the judge to order the immediate release of Eda, her husband, and the four others.
