KUALA LUMPUR: Former Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, is ready to be investigated over any issues which arose before the 14th General Election.
He said he was aware that his name and that of the Attorney General, Tan Sri Apandi Ali, had been earmarked as among those who could be investigated by the new Federal government over the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) issue, among others.
“I am still on duty and I am ready to offer my full cooperation with regards to any issue, including any investigation process involving me,” he said.
However, he declined to comment further on any further action which may take place. He also said he was unaware if any travel restrictions had been placed on him.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had said that Apandi and Khalid could come under investigation for the roles they played in the 1MDB probe.
Khalid was one of four senior government officers who was instructed to conduct a probe into 1MDB investments and finances. The others are former Bank Negara Malaysia Governor, Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz; former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed; and former Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.
Khalid, 61, retired from the police force last September. He is now the chairman of Prasarana Malaysia Bhd.
