Let S Back Police Efforts To Eradicate Terrorism

---

MP SPEAKS | I'm sure many have been following the news of the arrests of individuals suspected of being involved in recent terrorist activities
Those detained are suspected of promoting, supporting, inciting, encouraging and soliciting funds and having items related to a rebel group
Besides heaving a deep breath of relief, I would also like to thank the Royal Malaysia Police for their tireless efforts to crack down on attempts to undermine national security
As citizens, I am sure that the safety and security of our country is very important to all of us. 
Of course, everyday we read and hear the bad news in turbulent countries due to terrorist activities and militant groups
However, Malaysia is fortunate that police personnel are very efficient in resisting any terrorist group attempt in the country
In fact, this is nothing new
Over the years, terrorist groups have failed to operate in Malaysia because the expertise and agility of the police has acted to counter any threat to national security
In contrast to neighbouring countries that have been frequently attacked by terrorist groups, Malaysia still maintains its sovereignty. Thank God
Recently, the police has also shown its seriousness in improving administrative efficiency and quality. The efforts of the Inspector-General of Police, special branch directors and newly appointed senior police officers have produced positive results
The Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission, the proposed use of a body camera on law enforcement officers and the installation of closed-circuit cameras (CCTVs) in 756 lock-ups nationwide are among major steps taken by the police force
This is the positive impact of the police regarding the quality of national security. Well done, I say
As a Malaysian, I fully support the police efforts and hard work in combating terrorist activities in the country. The swift action by the police force has also never received interference from any party
In fact, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad also stressed that the actions of police personnel are in accordance with the law. The police force always prioritises national security and law
Let's provide adequate space to the police and the Home Affairs Ministry to deal with this issue
They are the ones who struggle to keep the country safe so that people can work during the day and sleep at night without any fear
I believe justice will be upheld and the saftey of the country will continue to be secure due to the integrity of the police force
Thank you Royal Malaysia Police
