Malaysia’s Chief Justice Raus Sharif and Court of Appeal President Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin will step down from their posts on July 31 as Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s government purges senior officials seen close to the previous administration, Al-Jazeera reports. Several chiefs in Malaysia’s police force are expected to be removed next month, including the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), as the new Pakatan Harapan government seeks to “cleanse” the organisation, sources said as quoted by The Straits Times. The National Patriots Association, which is made up of former policy and military officers, has called for a purge of all officials known to have been involved in corruption, irrespective of their position and status, in all departments including the police force.
