- IGP hits out at continuous efforts to tarnish pilot’s image – Bernama
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pic) regrets that there are still certain parties who continue to speculate the fate of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 even to the point of tarnishing the name of pilot, Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah's family.
He said the speculations would not only embarrass the family but could also jeopardise investigations into the incident.
"There are too many speculations so we have to be very careful when we read. Even his daughter has denied, yet there are media (foreign) who are unethical and intentionally write things which are not correct.
"If there was anything I will make an announcement, but we have to understand that this is being investigated and we are afraid that it could jeopardise our investigation," he told reporters after launching the Life-long Health Carnival With Royal Malaysian Police Leadership at the Kelantan Police Contingent Headquarters, in Kota Baru today.
Yesterday, Capt Zaharie's daughter, Aishah slammed the report by UK newspaper The Daily Mail which claimed that her father was emotionally disturbed several weeks before the tragedy.
Flight MH370, with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board, went missing on March 8 about an hour after departing the Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12.41am.
It was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6.30am the same day.
Meanwhile, Khalid said the number of police staff who suffered chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and kidney diseases, had increased.
"I feel that our lives today have improved and we can afford to enjoy better food than before. We should however, be aware of the importance of eating properly and looking after our health through exercise," he said.
He reminded police personnel to look after their health as this would enable them to perform their duties well and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. – Bernama, April 1, 2014.
