MIRI (May 31): In a heartfelt gesture of appreciation, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) recognised the contributions of two retired officers during welfare visits led by Miri District Police Chief ACP Mohd Farhan Lee Abdullah. The visits, conducted on May 30, were part of PDRM's continued efforts to honour its veterans, particularly those facing health challenges or unable to attend formal ceremonies. The initiative reflects the force's enduring commitment to the well-being and dignity of its former personnel. One of the honourees was Sergeant Mansoor Abdullah, a retired officer residing in Kampung Bukit Bom, Niah. He received the Pingat Jasa Pahlawan Negara (PJPN) medal and certificate at his home after missing the official ceremony held on May 7 at Ruai Kenyalang, Miri District Police Headquarters. The delegation also visited Corporal Jahawi Rosli, 80, at his residence in Kampung Dagang, Bekenu. Corporal Jahawi, who has been undergoing dialysis treatment for over two decades, was similarly recognised for his service and received moral support from the visiting team.

'These men have given their service and sacrifice to the nation, and it is our responsibility to continue honouring them, especially in their later years,' the statement read, underscoring PDRM's dedication to supporting those who have served with distinction. Both recipients, meanwhile, expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the recognition and care, noting that the visit provided not only official acknowledgement but also a deep sense of continued belonging to the police fraternity.
