KUALA LUMPUR: Only police personnel with MyPerformance scores of 90 per cent and above were considered for the Excellent Service Awards this year.
A total of 66 individuals, including rank-and-file personnel and police officers, were awarded for their exceptional service with the police force.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the evaluation included attendance records, frequency of medical leave and involvement in activities outside of official duties.
He expressed confidence that the set criteria would help personnel continuously boost their efforts to be more proactive and competitive.
"This is to provide quality service that meets the expectations of the nation and the public.
"To achieve what we desire, we must have efforts and determination," he said at Bukit Aman today.
He said competent, excellent and dedicated personnel are the main strength of the force.
Razarudin said this spirit should continue to be instilled among members, in line with the goal of enhancing service delivery quality and fostering a high-performance, innovative work culture.
"In total, 10,534 officers and personnel received the recognition this year, based on a quota of eight per cent of the total active officers.
"This includes 1,086 senior police officers, 8,486 lower-ranking police officers and 962 public service officers from various levels, including Bukit Aman, state contingents, brigades and training institutions," he said.
Present were Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay and Bukit Aman Management Department director Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid, who is also chairman of the event's Organizing Committee.
Razarudin expressed appreciation to the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) for sponsoring additional prizes for recipients in the form of National Education Savings Scheme certificates worth RM1,000 each.
The shariah-compliant savings scheme is seen as an early education savings instrument for children, offering tax relief of up to RM8,000 and free takaful protection for savings of RM1,000 or more.
"Recipients from families with a monthly household income not exceeding RM4,000 are also eligible to receive a Geran Sepadan of up to RM10,000 per family if they enrol in higher education institutions," he said.
Razarudin acknowledged PTPTN's contribution of more than RM67,000 to the police force's welfare fund and the commitment of the organisers and working committee, who have made the award ceremony a success since 2019.
