"Why do we concentrate on things that are remeh-temeh (trivial) when there are more important things to do? Why find 10 men and shave them bald?"
"OCPD Kajang, I can tell you that if I drop by Kajang (district police headquarters) now, I can find 10 mistakes within an hour,"
said Tan Sri Bakri Omar, The Inspector General of Police (IGP).

"These days it seems that the responsibility has shifted to the IGP. OCPD Kajang did not have to answer (for the shaving incident) as much as I did. If he knew how much I had to answer, he would apologise to me 10 times," he said to rapt silence. But Mohd Noor Hakim was not the only one taken to task, although he was the only one named by the IGP.
“We have been teaching you about Human Rights all along. If this 3-days seminar is not enough we can make it longer. If you still don’t understand after that, then you might as well look for another job. We don’t want Stupid Officers."- TanSri Bakri Omar, IGP
Tan Sri Bakri Omar’s pep talk to the senior police officers sounded frustrated that some of his senior officers had brought the force into disrepute. The Inspector-General of Police did not sugarcoat the message, telling his audience of 145 district police chiefs that they needed to buck up. During his speech at the start of a human rights seminar for district police chiefs, he touched on the case of the 10 men arrested for gambling who had their heads shaved. The incident caused a disquiet and put the police force on the backfoot.
The IGP told the district police chiefs of a story that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi likes to tell. A person walks into a station and wants to lodge a report, but the personnel manning the desk, instead of helping the complainant, says ‘lawa baju ... nak pergi mana ni?’ (fancy clothes ... where do you want to go?). This is not the way. What is the use of wearing the sedia berkhidmat (ready to serve) badge?"
"This is something you all should know. I’m sure many of you have not read the Police Act since you sat for your higher law exam. In fact, I’m sure some of you don’t even have a copy of the Police Act. This is something you should keep with you and read from time to time."
Bakri also urged his police chiefs to listen to the public.If you do not listen, it will create a lot of problems for the force and Bukit Aman. This, I do not like.
