Pdrm So Far So Good




The duties of an officer are the safety, honour, and welfare of your country first; the honour, welfare, and comfort of the men in your command second; and the officer's own ease, comfort, and safety last.– George S PattonOne of the more interesting aspects of the movement control order (MCO) is that the average rakyat has had more interactions with the state security apparatus, specifically the PDRM. This is funny, of course, because if people were seriously following the MCO, they would not be interacting with the police
While the press and social media highlight the negative encounters between the citizenry and the police, anecdotally speaking, I believe for the most part the experience has been positive. Public relations officers of the PDRM tell me that when they make an “arrest”, they are merely following their standard operating procedure (SOP) and while they understand that some folks will be upset, they are always mindful of the way it plays out in social media
Another very senior police officer asked me to relay the message to readers to separate their politics from how they view police action at this time. He is very well aware that a certain segment of the population does not trust the PDRM and the words of politicians and some police officers have made it worse. Howdever, he said, the police force just wants to ensure the safety of everyone
He said that every day he is worried that a news story breaks showing the PDRM in a bad light or people behaving badly with the police. In both situations, political parties and their supporters cause more problems for the police by either justifying bad behaviour (sometimes using racialist language) or demonising the police force
True, the police personnel I speak to are mostly from the urban enclaves but from what they tell me and indeed from numerous readers - again anecdotally – the PDRM has been professional in executing their duties. The police personnel I speak to (sometimes working in concert with military personnel) have expressed surprise that for the most, part citizens are polite and understand the need of the MCO and generally are supportive of government actions
The problem has always been that the political class makes these orders and people are left wondering about how exactly they are going to be implemented. Now, what the government has done right is to allow the PDRM a certain level of discretion when it comes to controlling movement. This presents a whole set of variables, which sometimes make enforcement seem arbitrary
Charles Hector is correct when he wrote: “During this period when Malaysia is facing the Covid-19 threat, normal procedures and practices of administration of criminal justice should be abandoned in favour of the observance of the intention of the MCO
“If the police detain them, then it is certainly a violation of the very intention of the MCO – social distancing, among others. The suspects, the arresting and transporting officers, all those in the police station, are put at risk of infection. Lock-ups hold many other detainees, which are usually overcrowded.”TK Chua, in his letter puts it succinctly: “I would prefer that the authorities warn and fine the violators on the spot rather than arresting and putting them in lock-ups. Only violators who remain stubborn and uncouth are to be arrested.”The funny thing is, that nearly every police personnel I spoke to expressed the same point as Charles and Chua. They did not view people who broke the MCO as “criminals” and they most certainly did not think it was wise to round them up in this time when everyone is supposed to be social distancing
“Orang atas mesti tell us to release people or issue kompaun on the spot,“ a young police officer told me, standing the required distance apart while having coffee, late one evening. “Kita tak mahu arrest orang,“ he said “tapi isu kompaun lebih senang dan selamat”
He said he and his colleagues have heard all sorts of excuses as to why people are going out and they have learnt to spot the fakers from the genuine cases. He is of the belief that if people know they will get fined if they go out without proper reason, they will stay at home. In his experience, the young police officer added, people with genuine reasons to be out could, normally, prove the necessity of their outing, with documentation and such. He believes only a small section of the population intentionally wants to break the MCO orders
One young man told me that he thought there was going to be an issue with taking his wife for her pre-natal appointments, which would take them beyond the 10km radius limit. This was before the government had firmed up the policy, making exceptions and such. At the police roadblock, a young soldier directed the couple to speak to his “police superior” to get the go-ahead
The young father-to-be did this, offering his wife’s medical card, and talking a bit to this “senior” police officer, and he and his wife were allowed through the road. It was a pleasant drive through KL with very little traffic”, this young man said
What was interesting to me, and this was not the first example that was related to me about how well the military seems to be working with the PDRM. At least publicly – which is the most important aspect – the military and the PDRM seem to be working in concert
Ranking police personnel have told me that so far there have been no major hiccups when it comes to working with the military, which was one of their initial fears when the military was brought into the picture
Another young police officer – a recent mother herself – said the PDRM just wants people to be safe. She is manning the helplines but she sometimes has to help out in hospitals, which essentially puts her in harm's way
She just wants the people to know that the PDRM is not “interested” in arresting people. In fact, when the roads and public spaces are empty, most of them breathe a sigh of relief because it makes their job safer and they do not have to get tough with recalcitrant people, which makes their job even harder
What the political class needs to understand is the spirit and intent of the MCO is protective, not punitive
Enforcement should reflect this
