Ditawar sertai politik, Ayob Khan belum buat keputusan

Former Deputy Inspector General of Police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay has received an invitation to join the political arena but has not made any decisions yet. When asked by Bernama, he stated that his primary consideration is whether participating in politics would allow him to bring about change or merely follow the flow and directives of party leaders.

If forced to conform, he would prefer not to enter politics. However, wherever he is, he acknowledges that while there may be limitations, he can still contribute. Speaking on the program "Ruang Bicara" titled "Behind the Badge: The Story and Legacy of Tan Sri Ayob Khan," he emphasized that fighting corruption and strengthening integrity requires strong political will starting from the highest levels of management.

He stressed that leadership must set a clear example and demonstrate genuine decisiveness, as any organizational transformation will only succeed if top executives provide a clear signal without compromising on change. He also reminded that a culture of rebuking subordinates or suppressing mistakes only encourages more wrongdoing due to the lack of accountability regardless of rank or position.

He reiterated that corruption and integrity issues cannot be considered a hidden or private matter that needs to be concealed. If we fail to acknowledge problems within our agency, it means we are heading towards ruin, not moving forward but rather regressing. Similarly, in the current state of our nation, failure to bring about change will only lead us backward, while other nations move forward.
