Abdul Aziz is Malaysia’s new deputy IGP
Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid replaces Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, who retired from the force in July.
Malaysia has appointed Bukit Aman management director Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid as the new deputy inspector-general of police, with the appointment taking effect on September 9. This move comes after Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay retired from the police force in July, having served for nearly 35 years. Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced the appointment, stating that the king had given his consent to Aziz's promotion, following the recommendation from the Police Force Commission and the advice of the Prime Minister.
With his extensive expertise and experience in policing, the Minister believes Aziz possesses the necessary competence and leadership to excel in the role of deputy inspector-general of police. Aziz, who is 59 years old, 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.
