Mohamed Salleh Ismael

Tun Mohamed Salleh bin Ismael (7 July 1917 – 31 January 1973) was the second Inspector-General of Police of Malaysia, and the first Asian and ethnic Malay to hold that post,[1] taking office on 29 March 1966.[2] His predecessor was Claude Fenner. His work resulted in the "Salleh System", as well as the National Police Cadets and the Police Volunteer Reserve.

In this Malay name, there is no family name. The name Ismael is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Mohamed Salleh. The Arabic-derived word "bin" or "binti"/"binte", if used, means 'son of' or 'daughter of', respectively.
