From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tan Sri Musa Hassan is Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police. He has served with the Royal Malaysian Police for 38 years.[1] He took over the post from Mohamed Bakri Omar in September 2006; Hassan had previously worked as Deputy Inspector-General under him.[2] He was investigated on allegations of corruption related to the release of three members of illegal betting syndicates; however, Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail ordered the Anti-Corruption Agency to close the investigations in July 2007 for lack of evidence.[3] Two months later, it was announced that he would receive a two-year extension of his term to 13 September 2009, despite having reached the mandatory retirement age.[1]
