KAJANG – The government is looking at acquiring new assets for the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to strengthen control of the Malaysia-Thai border, said Deputy Home Minister Jonathan Yasin.
He said the government will not compromise with criminals who encroach into the country, especially when it involved deaths and injuries to security personnel on duty.
"Indeed, PDRM is always submitting applications and reports to boost its capability in conducting operations. The new procurements will depend on the funds that the government can afford from time to time," he said.
He said this at a media conference after launching the 2020 National Drug Addiction Science Symposium here today. Present was National Anti-Drugs Agency director-general Datuk Seri Zulkilfi Abdullah.
Jonathan also expressed his condolences to the General Operations Force’s (GOF) personnel and families of victims in two recent shooting incidents on the Malaysia-Thai border.
The incidents yesterday evening and early Saturday morning, resulted in a death and personnel hurt. – Bernama, November 26, 2020
