Elite Tactical Unit Heroes Thrill Crowds At Kelantan PMR 2025
Elite units under the Home Ministry, such as the Special Tactical Team (PASTAK), Special Tasks and Rescue (STAR) team, and Criminal Investigation Department (CID), took turns making appearances every three hours over the three-day event.
What made the showcase even more special was the appearance of the officers in full tactical gear, complete with HK MP5 firearms, a sight seldom seen by the public in an open setting.
In addition to witnessing demonstrations, visitors were also given the chance to take selfies with the officers.
The presence of these tactical units also helped instil patriotism and deepen public appreciation for the sacrifices made by security personnel in safeguarding the nation's sovereignty and peace.
One of the visitors, Nur Amirah Husna Mohd Riduan, 16, a student at Sekolah Menengah Sains Gua Musang, said she was excited to see the security officers in person.
'We usually see them in textbooks and on TV, but today we saw them with our own eyes. It was such a thrilling experience and made me proud,' she told Bernama.
Meanwhile, Nik Ahmad Anzalah Nik Zamri, 16, a student of Pondok Pasir Tumboh, said the experience of meeting the tactical team was beneficial in nurturing patriotism among youth.
'I've always wanted to join a tactical unit. Seeing them in person and chatting with them really fired up my spirit. I even asked about their uniforms, their functions, and when they're used,' he said.

Suspects in RM2.1mil gang robbery plead not guilty
KUALA LUMPUR: Two men pleaded not guilty to a charge of gang robbery involving losses amounting to RM2.1mil last month. Mohd Syaqir Mohd Ami, aged 30, and Nur Mohamed Mahsar Mohamed Nor, aged 34, were jointly charged with two other individuals, who remain at large, for committing a gang robbery against property belonging to a 31-year-old Chinese national, Chen Kexue. The assets include a branded wristwatch worth RM1.2mil, three gold bars weighing 300 grammes, RM100,000 in cash and five mobile phones of various brands, worth an estimated RM2,146,000. The act was allegedly committed at a villa in Bukit Damansara here at 10.10pm on July 21. The charge was framed under Section 395 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping if convicted. Deputy public prosecutor Nidzuan Abdul Latif did not offer bail because the offence is non-bailable, Bernama reported. DPP Nidzuan also urged the court to take into account the seriousness of the offence and the significant financial losses involved. 'There is a risk of the accused fleeing because during the arrest, one of them tried to escape. 'However, if the court grants bail, I request that each accused be granted RM60,000, along with additional conditions that they must report to the nearest police station and surrender their passports to the court,' DPP Nidzuan said. Sessions Court judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin granted bail of RM15,000 to each accused, along with additional conditions requested by the prosecution. The court set Sept 30 for mention.
