Corrupt few will tarnish all of PDRM, deputy IGP warns
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — The actions of a small number of police officers and personnel involved in corruption have tarnished the reputation of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), despite the majority performing their duties with integrity and dedication. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said that corruption-related offences must be dealt with firmly, regardless of the rank of the individuals involved. Ayob Khan said he has never compromised with any officers or personnel involved in such offences during his tenure as Johor police chief, director of the Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), and director of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID). 'In Johor, when I served as police chief, some officers and personnel were subjected to action under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma). At the NCID, officers with the ranks of Superintendent, ASP, and Inspector were placed under Special Preventive Measures,' he said. He said this to reporters after the launch of the book Antologi Puisi Makan Suap at the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) here last night. Also present were DBP director-general Hazami Jahari and National Poets Association (Pemuisi) president Datuk Radzuan Ibrahim. At the same time, Ayob Khan stressed that attempting to conceal corruption cases to protect the organisation's reputation would only allow such activities to fester and become harder to prevent. 'For the PDRM, we will not compromise. If I detect such cases, the first step is to refer major cases to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC); the second is to open an investigation paper, and the third is to initiate disciplinary proceedings,' he said. Meanwhile, in his speech at the book launch, Ayob Khan said he would continue to speak out, reprimand, and remind all PDRM officers and personnel about the disgraceful and humiliating nature of corrupt practices. He also reaffirmed his firm stance to tackle this reprehensible culture, despite attempts by a few parties, both within and outside the force, to portray corruption in the PDRM as difficult to eradicate. He added that PDRM remains committed to upholding integrity, particularly in tackling corruption and abuse of power, and will continue to ensure that national security and public order are maintained while delivering services at the highest standard. — Bernama

Man tries to help accident victim in Butterworth, gets punched; police investigate clash as rioting
BUTTERWORTH, Aug 16 — Police are investigating a viral video allegedly showing a group of individuals rioting here yesterday. Seberang Perai Utara District Police Chief ACP Anuar Abdul Rahman said authorities received a report from a local man at the Butterworth Police Station regarding the incident. 'Preliminary investigations found that the incident occurred when the complainant tried to help a motorcyclist involved in an accident who was lying on the road. However, the suspect suddenly got up, punched the complainant, and then incited several members of the public to fight,' he said in a statement today. He added that the investigation found the incident was likely triggered by the suspect claiming to have heard offensive words from an unknown individual at the accident scene. The case is being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting, and police are tracking down the suspect. Anuar also reminded the public not to sensationalise the incident in a way that disrupts public order, and urged anyone with information to contact Sergeant Muhammad Adib Ikmal Sukri at 04-576 2222 ext. 2275 or their nearest police station to assist in the investigation. — Bernama
