This will serve a lesson to other police officers - IGP



KUALA LUMPUR -- The recent transfers of the former Gombak District Police Chief and several police officers there were due to their failure to curb gambling activities, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.

He said every State Police Chief and District Police Chief must be held responsible for failing to achieve the targets of their missions.

“I have warned about this (combatting gambling), that gambling activities must be curbed not only in Gombat but throughout the whole country.

“Order upon order have been issued to the State Police Chiefs, District Police  Chiefs and the officers assigned to tackle the gambling issue,” he said in a press conference held after a Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) seminar in tackling challenges in modern policing at the Cheras PDRM College here.

Mohamad Fuzi said if they were not serious in tackling the issue of gambling such as was seen in the Gombak District Police Headquarters, he had to take stern action by transferring them to other districts.

“If they continue to allow it (gambling activities) to spread, then we have to take similar action,” he said.

Mohamad Fuzi said there will be more transfers involving officers and policemen connected to this issue in other districts.

“I hope what happened to those who were transferred for failing to curb gambling in their districts will serve as a lesson to other police officers and policemen,” he said.

Mohamad Fuzi said he will be meeting with 157 District Police Chiefs throughout the country next Monday at the Cheras PDRM College to discuss various matters including the gambling issue.

On July 28, PDRM announced the transfers of two senior officials, Gombak District Police Chief ACP Ali Ahmad and the Commandant of the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) in Air Hitam ACP Samsor Maarof.

Also present at the seminar were Deputy Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim and Chairman of the Human Rights Commission Tan Sri Razali Ismail.

Proton SUV open for booking at RM1,000

KUALA LUMPUR -- National car maker, Proton Holdings Bhd, is adopting an alphanumerical naming system for its future models beginning with the X70, its first sport utility vehicle (SUV). Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV. Proton Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said Proton's adoption of the new naming system would make customer more focus on the brand name as compared with the model name. Abdul Rashid, who is also the Chief Executive Officer o...
