Former Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay has called for strong political will at the highest level to combat corruption and strengthen integrity. According to Ayob Khan, leadership must lead by example and demonstrate zero tolerance for misconduct if organizational transformation is to succeed. He acknowledged that integrity education for younger generations is a long-term investment, but stressed that change must come from the top.
Ayob Khan warned against a culture of give and take or covering up wrongdoing, stating that no one is above the law regardless of rank or position. He urged that corruption and integrity issues should not be treated as internal secrets but openly acknowledged. Ayob Khan revealed he has received offers to enter politics but has yet to make a decision, considering whether involvement would allow him to bring genuine change or force him to go with the flow.
Born in Kota Setar, Kedah on July 27, 1966, Ayob Khan served in the Royal Malaysia Police for nearly 35 years before reaching mandatory retirement on July 27, 2023.
