Why was the Deputy IGP post vacant for almost two months?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Deputy Inspector General of Police post was vacant for nearly two months due to the retirement of the previous incumbent.

The position of Deputy Inspector General of Police (IGP) remained unfilled for approximately two months. This vacancy occurred because the former Deputy IGP, Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim, retired from service on March 17. Datuk Mazlan Mansor has since been appointed to the role, with his appointment taking effect on May 9.
Retirement of Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim

Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim concluded his tenure as Deputy IGP on March 17, leading to the vacancy. His retirement marked the end of his service in the Royal Malaysia Police.
Appointment of Datuk Mazlan Mansor

Following the vacancy, Datuk Mazlan Mansor was appointed as the new Deputy IGP. His appointment became effective from May 9. Prior to this, Mazlan Mansor held the position of director at the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department.
Duration of Vacancy

The period from Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim's retirement on March 17 to the effective date of Datuk Mazlan Mansor's appointment on May 9 constitutes the nearly two-month duration the post was vacant. General practice within public service roles, including senior law enforcement positions, often involves a period between an official's retirement and the formal appointment of their successor to allow for necessary administrative processes and consultations.
