KUALA LUMPUR – Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador has advised police personnel not to upload videos on social media application TikTok while on duty.

He said it was unbecoming for an officer donning the uniform to perform “dances” and upload them on social media, as it will tarnish the department’s image.

“This blue (police) uniform is sacred, so it is not nice if we wear the uniform and perform acts that don’t suit the work culture,” he told reporters yesterday.

On Saturday, a Kelantan police contingent personnel faced disciplinary action after uploading a video of herself dancing while donning the uniform on TikTok.

Kelantan police chief Shafien Mamat said the video, which had gone viral, could tarnish the department’s image and went against its code of ethics. – Bernama, December 11, 2020
