‘Omak sey oghang sini': IGP Razarudin adopts Kampung Parit Seberang, mum's hometown, shares RM1m for upgrade works
KUALA PILAH, June 15 — A total of RM1 million has been allocated to upgrade Kampung Parit Seberang, which has been selected as the Inspector-General of Police's (IGP) Kampung Angkat Madani (Madani Adopted Village). Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said that the village was selected by the Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department (JPJKK), based on its infrastructure status, which was assessed to be below 50 per cent complete, and in need of special attention. He said that the Kampung Parit Seberang Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK) encompasses three villages – Kampung Parit Mainau, Kampung Parit Mungkal and Kampung Parit Istana – covering a total area of 3.3 square kilometres. 'I would like to share that RM1 million has been allocated, through the Ministry of Finance, to support the entire initiative to upgrade the village, not to mention, omak sey oghang sini (my mother is from here),' he said. He added that, beyond narrowing the development gap in basic infrastructure between rural and urban areas, the programme aims to deliver high-quality community services, through collaboration between ministries, departments, agencies, and public universities. He said this at the IGP's Madani Adopted Village community programme, held in Kampung Parit Seberang, which was also attended by state senior executive councillor, Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, here, today. Razarudin said the proposed upgrade projects include improvements to buildings, landscaping and fencing around the Kampung Parit Seberang surau, road repairs and resurfacing, refurbishment of the Kampung Parit Seberang community hall, and the installation of 20 solar-powered street lights throughout the village. He added that the upgrading works are being closely monitored by the Bukit Aman JPJKK and the Kuala Pilah district police headquarters (IPD), with the aim of ensuring that all improvements are implemented with good governance. 'I have high hopes that this government initiative will be put to good use, for the comfort and well-being of the local community,' he said. Meanwhile, Kampung Parit Seberang JPKK chairman Hasnan Abd Malek, 55, expressed his gratitude to the government for selecting the village as the IGP's Madani Adopted Village. 'This selection is a great advantage in our aim to achieve zero crime. Alhamdulillah, it will bring many benefits to the villagers, especially in terms of security, as there will now be regular police patrols in the village,' he said. — Bernama

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said a handover ceremony has been scheduled for June 20. (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. Razarudin, 61, was appointed to the position on June 23, 2023, following the retirement of Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani. 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.
