KUCHING – Former police and other security forces personnel will be able to continue to contribute to the development of the community after leaving the service due to their high level of discipline, said Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.
He said this was why many of them in Sarawak were entrusted with positions of longhouse chiefs, village heads, and even Pemanca and Temenggung after leaving the service.
In this regard, he said, the Sarawak government fully supported the involvement of security forces alumni associations in various community and economic development activities in the state.
Johari, when launching the Sarawak Police Alumni Association website and logo at the state police contingent headquarters here today, also advised the association’s leadership to manage it well so that it will expand and be able to help the association members economically and socially.
Citing an example, he said the top leadership of the association can study the potential of the existing agriculture areas that can be developed, such as vertical farming, which is increasingly being used to generate income.
“It is time for them to diversify efforts and activities that can contribute to various aspects of modern agricultural development such as agro-parks or modern farming,” he said. – Bernama, December 9, 2021
