Abdul Aziz is Malaysia’s new deputy IGP

Bukit Aman management director Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid has been appointed as Malaysia's new deputy inspector-general of police, effective September 9. Aziz replaces Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, who retired from the force in July after a 35-year career. Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced the appointment, explaining that King Charles had consented to Aziz's promotion, following advice from the Prime Minister and the Police Force Commission's recommendation.

With his extensive experience and expertise in policing, Aziz is well-suited to serve as deputy inspector-general of police, according to Saifuddin. At 59 years old, Aziz previously held positions such as deputy director in Bukit Aman's Special Branch, management director of the federal police since 2024, Penang deputy police chief, and deputy director of Bukit Aman's narcotics crime investigation department.
