SUBANG JAYA – The police has requested the Home Ministry expedite the tender offer process for the procurement of body cameras for the use of the force’s personnel in the field.
Bukit Aman Logistics and Technology Department director Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said his department has received positive feedback from the ministry on this matter.
“Hopefully, it can be implemented by the end of May or in June," he told reporters after visiting a roadblock at the Subang toll plaza here today.
He said the tenders would then go through an evaluation process by a technical committee before being selected by the ministry’s Tender Procurement Board, which will then issue a letter of acceptance to the selected firm.
The government had previously approved an allocation of RM30 million under the 12th Malaysia Plan to purchase body cameras for police personnel.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had said this is to protect police personnel from being slandered by criminals or irresponsible parties.
On another matter, Mazlan said there are a sufficient number of tents and clinical equipment for the welfare and comfort of personnel working in the field during the movement control order up till its scheduled end on June 7. – Bernama, May 13, 2021
