Need to have more programs to highlight the career opportunities in police service. I am guessing that the target group is still wary of the promotion opportunities and bias. Need to implement innovative strategies or campaigns. Not easy but need to be done.

 

More non-Malay policemen are needed in order to improve service said a senior civil servant today.

Internal Security/Public Order Department director Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid said they can communicate to a multicultural Malaysian society which uses various languages, Bernama Online reported.

He said despite the Royal Malaysia Police’s (PDRM) effort to change the situation the response has been poor.

Salleh was speaking at the completion parade at the Police Training Centre in Jalan Semarak here. None of the policemen who received their certificate of completion and formally join the police force were Chinese or Punjabi.

The 985 new constables were made of 939 Malays, 32 Indians and 14 from other races.
