Deploy police more as 'peace officers': Muhyiddin

Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:35 PM PDT

KUALA LUMPUR -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today suggested that the Royal Malaysia Police deploy its personnel on duty in such a manner that they are seen by the public as "peace officers" rather than only as "law enforcers".

Launching the police Open Day at Merdeka Square here, he said the force should enable the personnel to endear themselves to the public to foster closer police-people relations.

"I wish to suggest that the police consider the potential of rotating its officers and men in community policing to enable more police personnel to be exposed to a people-friendly environment," he said.

Muhyiddin said a strong bond between the police and people was the basis of a smart partnership that provided for early detection of crime and enforcement of the best strategy to overcome it.

"Crime prevention depends on not only awareness of community crimes but also on the cooperation the local people extend to the police," he said. -- Bernama

'Apology an admission he has gone overboard'

KUALA LUMPUR: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's apology to the sultan of Johor over his remarks on the state indicates that Lim is aware that he had made a mistake, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Najib said it was hard for Lim to deny it, given that there was a recording of him making the alleged remarks.

"If he can deny making such remarks, I believe he would not have apologised.

"This (the apology) means it is an admission that he has gone overboard with his words," Najib said after chairing the Umno supreme council meeting here yesterday.

On Lim's move to prevent certain media from covering his press conferences, Najib said Umno did not practise such a policy.

"He (Lim) allows some media to cover him, and prevents some from covering him. But in Umno, we allow all to cover us, including those who do not provide favourable reports about us."

On hudud, Najib said Kelantan failed to implement hudud despite talking about it for the last 20 years.

"We'll see whether they are serious or not. They said they wanted to do it all this while, but they never did," he said.
