Abdul Rahim bin Mohd. Noor[1] (born 6 June 1943) was the fifth Inspector-General of Police of Royal Malaysia Police, from 16 January 1994 to 7 January 1999.
Career
Abdul Rahim became the Selangor State Police Chief on 21 July 1984 and Deputy Inspector-General of Police on 14 June 1989.
He resigned as Inspector-General of Police on 7 January 1999 for punching former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim while in police custody at the Bukit Aman Headquarters jail.[2]
Incidents
Assault of Anwar Ibrahim
In 1998, Abdul Rahim beat former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim when Anwar was in police custody at the Bukit Aman Headquarters jail. The public and the media only witnessed Anwar's black eye after he was being brought to Court for the first time after he was arrested. Abdul Rahim would then resigned as Inspector-General of Police on 7 January 1999 for punching Anwar.[2]
Abdul Rahim was subsequently found guilty of assault, and was sentenced to two months imprisonment and fined RM2,000 by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on 15 March 2000.[2] He appealed, unsuccessfully.[3] Abdul Rahim made a public apology to Anwar and paid undisclosed damages.[4]
Political view
On 26 October 2011, while officiating at the 2nd General Assembly of Perkasa, a far-right organisation in Malaysian politics, Abdul Rahim equated the wave of human rights activism with communism and a new religion, and said that some Malay leftist activists were 'wolves in sheep's clothing', with the goal of making Malaysia a republic.[5]
During the ceremony in Setiawangsa, he received the 'Perkasa Top Award', previously awarded to former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and former Chief of Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) Ibrahim Ismail.[5]
