The post of special envoy for Khalid is for the purpose of boosting cooperation between Malaysia and the international community in combating terrorism, extremism and human trafficking.
“This is in view of the wide experience and good relations of Khalid with international agencies in tackling these problems throughout his tenure as inspector-general of police,” Najib said in a statement.
Khalid retired from the Royal Malaysian Police yesterday after serving with the force for over 40 years.
Najib said Khalid’s appointment as Prasarana chairman was to replace Ismail Adam, who completed his term on Aug 31.
“Khalid will continue with the mission and vision of Prasarana to build and provide world-class public transportation and to increase its use,” he said.
On behalf of the government, the prime minister also thanked Ismail for his contributions during his tenure as Prasarana chairman.
