MARANG, July 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar wants enforcement personnel to be moral and disciplined when defending national security.
He said if moral values and discipline are successfully imbued in all enforcement personnel, the goal of raising the dignity of the country, nation and people can be achieved at a faster pace.
“I urge all parties (to) understand the agenda of change... if you want to raise the dignity of the people, the nation and the country, you cannot use old methods,” he said at a Rahmah session with Home Affairs Ministry (KDN) staff at the Marang police headquarters here today.
He urged all KDN enforcement officers to change physically and spiritually, taking into account the great responsibilities of KDN members.
Anwar also announced an immediate allocation of RM1 million to repair 20 police quarters units at the Marang station.
“Next week, there will be RM1 million. I am asking KDN and police to take immediate action. It is crucial the issue be resolved quickly so we can bring in another 20 families to live there.
“We are telling police to defend the country and fight crime, but their houses are damaged... I say we solve this problem as quickly as possible,” he said.
Anwar said that for other police quarters needing repairs, KDN must submit recommendations and, depending on its financial capacity, he assured desperate cases will be resolved quickly this year.
