Noor Rashid was supposed to retire in March 2018 after he reached the mandatory retirement age but had his tenure extended by one more year.[10][11] In September 2018, Noor Rashid informed the press that the PDRM detected 132 money laundering transactions and had recorded statements from more than 50 individuals who had received funds totallingUS$972 million from the personal bank account of formerPrime Minister of Malaysia,Najib Razak.[12] He also professed his support for the setting up of the long-awaitedIndependent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC), which was first recommended by theRoyal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysia Force in 2005, as it would enhance integrity within the PDRM.[13][14] In October 2018, he said that the PDRM will investigate the claim by the youth wing of theNational Trust Party's (AMANAH)Terengganu chapter that an alleged sum ofRM2.5 million transferred by theUnited Malay National Organisation (UMNO) to theMalaysian Islamic Party (PAS) is tied to the1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.[15] In November 2018, Noor Rashid indicated that there were unspecified parties who were attempting to stir up racial sentiments following theGovernment of Malaysia's decision to ratify theInternational Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).[16]
