Besides, he said, the Home Ministry should equip the corps with suitable equipment to help achieve the national key result areas especially in reducing crime rates. "They also have to lure new members from the professional group to join the corps and implement a training programme that meets the international volunteer standard," he said at a Rela gathering here. Muhyiddin said although Rela was introduced to replace the Home Guard, which was abolished in 1973, the main function of the non-governmental organisation was still to defend the sovereignty of the country. |

| IGP: Others using peaceful Malaysia as example Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:35 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Omar Ismail says he has been invited overseas to talk about how peaceful Malaysia is. "The peaceful situation in the country is still being preserved. Other countries are using Malaysia as an example. "I have also been invited abroad to talk about the peace in Malaysia," he told reporters at the police Open Day Saturday. As such, he said, there was no basis for anyone to link Johor as a crime-ridden state with high incidences of kidnapping. He was commenting on Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's claims linking Johor with the high crime rate. "The drop in crime rates in Johor, Penang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan is firstly due to police presence and secondly because of the involvement of the public in crime prevention," he added. On crime prevention approach through Facebook and Twitter, Ismail said it allowed the police to share and disseminate information directly to the public. BERNAMA Related Stories: |
