[UPDATED] Fighting crime in future time: New IGP vows to utilise AI
KUALA LUMPUR: Newly appointed Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail vowed to place emphasis on the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the capabilities of the police. "In order to carry out policing in the near future, the use of artificial intelligence is an issue that I feel will need to be focused on. "This is to ensure that the police continue to evolve and advance forward," he told reporters at the Police Training Centre here after his handing-over of duties ceremony today. He said AI could help police resolve security problems that arise, whether they are regular crime or national threats. "With this opportunity, I will lead the police to greater achievements in line with modernisation, especially in the use of the latest technology. "The best way for me to reveal the rest of my plans is through a press conference in a few days' time," he said. Khalid said he would continue the various efforts implemented by his predecessors. "I believe this is an opportunity for me to increase the efforts and credibility of the police in handling crime, including cross-border crimes," he said. Khalid took over as the inspector-general of police from Tan Sri Razarudin Husain today. Khalid was born on April 8, 1965, in Manong, Perak, and he joined the police in 1987. He has held various notable posts throughout his career, including from 2014 to 2018, where he served as the police attaché at the Malaysian Embassy in London before returning to Malaysia to helm the Special Branch in Pahang. He was promoted in 2023 to Bukit Aman as the Special Branch director, where he continued to serve until he was promoted to the top post in the force.

[UPDATED] Mohd Khalid appointed IGP on contract, effective June 23
KUALA LUMPUR: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has consented to the appointment of Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail as the new Inspector-General of Police on a two-year contract, beginning June 23, 2025, until June 22, 2027. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced the appointment today, stating that it was made in accordance with Clauses 4 and 5 of Article 140 of the Federal Constitution, with the advice of the Prime Minister and the recommendation of the Police Force Commission.

"His appointment ensures continuity in leading the police (force)," Saifuddin said in a statement today. Born on April 8, 1965, in Manong, Perak, Khalid holds a Master's Degree in Comparative Laws from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). He began his career in the police force on April 5, 1987, joining the Special Branch at federal police shortly after completing his basic police training. Throughout his career, he served in various key roles both domestically and abroad, including as deputy director of Special Branch I at federal police and as Security Liaison Officer (SLO) in London, United Kingdom. "He was promoted to director of Special Branch on April 10, 2023, and retired on April 8, 2025. However, his service was extended on a contract basis from April 8, 2025, and now continues with his new appointment as IGP. "On behalf of the Madani government, I also express appreciation to the outgoing IGP, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, for his service since June 23, 2023. "We extend our deepest gratitude to Razarudin for his dedication and contributions throughout his tenure," he said, adding that the government also congratulated Khalid on his appointment and wished him every success in leading the police force. In his speech during the Handing Over of Duties Ceremony at the Police Training Centre, Saifuddin said the appointment of Khalid is a trust and a responsibility to ensure the nation's safety and security. Saifuddin said the position of IGP is not a privilege, but a solemn duty that carries immense accountability. "The role of a leader is to bring prosperity, and that must come with responsibility and accountability. "This appointment is not a reward. It is a trust and a duty placed upon Khalid as the new Inspector-General of Police to lead this respected force," he said, highlighting the expectations that come with leading the police force as the country navigates increasingly complex security challenges both domestically and abroad.

Indian producer remixes Annie Khalid's hit 'Mahiya'
Indian music producer Yashraj Mukhate has gone viral again with a remix of Annie Khalid's iconic pop hit Mahiya, from her debut album Princess. Known for turning iconic dialogues and viral memes into catchy tunes, Mukhate paired the 2006 song with a clip of a South Asian man responding to an interviewer. When asked if he prefers his maternal or paternal relatives, the man bluntly replies "Rishtedar wala jo lafz hai na, woh jahan bhi aajaye, pasand hi nahi" (The word "relatives", wherever it comes up, I just don't like it). The video, featuring Mukhate looping the line over Khalid's Mahiya, adds a playful twist with lyrics like: "Meri bua ki bhabi ke beti ki shaadi mein kyun jaon, mahiya, ke hoon mein pareshaan, mahiya." It quickly racked up more than 12 million views and 850,000 likes on Instagram. Pakistani celebrities Mawra Hocane, Zoya Nasir, Omair Rana, and Farah Khan Kunder praised the track. Khalid herself responded with laughing emojis and an "Oh yeah, yeah!" to which Mukhate replied by calling her "The OG." Mukhate has previously gone viral with mashups like Rasode Mein Kaun Tha? from Indian drama series Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, and Pawri Ho Rahi Hai, based on a reel by influencer-turned-actor Dananeer Mobeen. Khalid's Mahiya became an instant pop phenomenon when it dropped in 2006. As her debut single, it catapulted her to fame across Pakistan and among South Asians globally. With its catchy melody, romantic lyrics, and slick music video, Mahiya helped define the mid-2000s pop sound and cemented Khalid's status as a breakout star. The song was later featured in the 2007 Bollywood film Awarapan, re-recorded by Suzanne D'Mello. Still, the original version remains a classic and opened doors for more women in Pakistan's pop scene. In a 2013 interview with Economic Times, Khalid talked about staying true to her Muslim roots while projecting the glamourous image the Western music industry requires. "I pray five times a day. I don't need to prove to anyone that I'm a good Muslim," she said. "I won't be twerking because I don't think it's cool. But if Miley Cyrus wants to do it, that's great." The pop star also voiced support for Muslim women's right to wear face veils in public.

Netanyahu's STUNNING Appeal To Iranians As Iranian Missiles Pound Tel Aviv; 'Clearing Your Path'
Air India Crash: Experts Raise Alarming Questions After Aviation Tragedy In Ahmedabad Caught On Cam Experts have reacted strongly to the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad, with chilling details emerging from viral crash footage. Former pilot Ehsan Khalid says the aircraft showed no signs of a mid-air explosion but suffered a visible loss of power. A mayday call was made, indicating cockpit awareness of a serious failure. The biggest red flag, according to Khalid, was that the landing gear remained deployed throughout—unusual for a flight that had already taken off. Was it engine failure? A bird hit? Multiple system malfunctions? While the Flight Data Recorder, Cockpit Voice Recorder, and ACARS data will reveal the truth, aviation experts warn against premature conclusions but raise serious technical concerns. The mystery deepens as India awaits the investigation findings.#airindia #airindiacrash #ahmedabadcrash #planecrashindia #aviationexperts #flightgear #pilotmayday #fdr #cvr #breakingnews #aviationsafety #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews 224.0K views | 1 day ago

Anatomy Of A Disaster: Air Force Pilot's Forensic Analysis Of Air India Crash
New Delhi: An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operating as Flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London's Gatwick Airport crashed shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Out of 242 on board, only one survived. Now the question on everyone's mind is: what exactly happened? Veteran Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot and aviation expert Captain Ehsan Khalid spoke to NDTV to decode the anatomy of one of the deadliest crashes in India's aviation history. Q: There are two videos that we have of the crash. A 36-second video that's been taken from somebody's window. You can see the aircraft descending into the neighbourhood there. And a 59-second video which captures the entire sequence from takeoff to landing. What are your opening comments? Captain Khalid: The only thing conclusive that I can see is that the landing gear has been down throughout, and landing gear is something that should have been taken up in almost all kinds of scenarios that a pilot gets in the aircraft, except when there is wind shear and the aircraft is committed to continue to descend. So we keep the landing gear down consciously. Q: But we counted the time taken from the time the aircraft lifts off till the time it impacts the ground. It's just 32 seconds. Captain Khalid: That is the amount of time it will take to rotate the aircraft to go up. 825 feet is the wrong height, 625 feet is the wrong height. It would not have gone higher than 200 to 250 feet. So the aircraft, when it is taking off, it gets airborne, selects the landing gear up, and keeps the flap. Flaps are lift augmentation devices that allow the aircraft to continue climbing at lower speeds while it is accelerating. So the aircraft gets out of the ground effect. Ground effect, meaning, you know, there is a cushion of air between the wing and the ground. It adds to the lift, reduces the drag. So even if the aircraft speed is low, power is low, it will be able to get out to something like 100 to 150 feet out of the ground effect. Now the aircraft does not have the ground effect. There is a loss of power, or the speed is low. Q: At this point in time, you can see the aircraft instead of continuing to ascend, it seems to level out and then it starts to descend. Captain Khalid: One thing that can be ruled out is that there was no control jam. Control jam means the aircraft pilot moves the control, but it cannot move. It can happen. It does not happen in this case because in one of the videos, you will see the aircraft continuing to pitch up. So that is one of the indications that the aircraft was actively being flown by the pilot. Q: The flaps are another point that has come up for a lot of debate. Let's just talk for a moment about this image. It's a very grainy image, and there are many experts who say you cannot tell one way or the other about the takeoff configuration. Does this look like a takeoff configuration to you? Captain Khalid: No way. I've also tried to zoom it. You cannot say. You cannot make out that the aircraft is having a configuration problem here. Let's assume that the flap is not in the right place, then the system has so much automation, it will shout at you, "Flaps." Q: It will not take off in a wrong configuration, then? Captain Khalid: It is like somebody shouting at you, "Wrong configuration, wrong configuration." You can't take off. So that thing is ruled out. Aircraft has gone up. The flaps, let's assume, not assume, I'm pretty certain that the flap is to the configuration. This aircraft, and many modern aircraft, in fact, all modern aircraft, have got flap auto-retraction mechanisms, and that gets signals from airspeed. It gets signals from the electrical system and sensors. Q: What do you think happened? You know, these are early hours. I understand that. But what is your best guess? Captain Khalid: I will tell you the most probable thing. Looking at the airfield like Ahmedabad, There were a lot of birds. That would cause distraction. But it will cause a loss of power, a loss of the indication system, loss of the airspeed system. That will now create a situation which is totally out of the book for the pilot. So what the pilot did at that point in time is not in the book. It will also preclude the landing gear from going up. It can also cause, without any interference from the pilot, flaps to go up. So let me tell you that Boeing 787 aircraft, having flown 30 million hours, has not had any of this wrong flap retraction. So in the field of speculation, we can speculate a lot, but certainly, the pilot was actively trying to control the aircraft, and they gave a Mayday" call. That means they were seeing something which is visually telling them that things are not right. We'll know about that once the black box is analysed. Q: So there is no way of telling from just this crash video or these still images whether the flaps played some kind of a role. That's what you're saying? Captain Khalid: Absolutey. From here you can't conclude. But the fact remains that the aircraft did not do a successful flight. There was a loss of lift. Loss of lift can happen because of loss of airspeed.
