A HIGH-level committee will be formed to discuss improvements to the safety of Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) convoys or personnel movements.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said all safety improvement aspects will be discussed by the committee.
"We are moving towards that direction, the Internal Security and Public Order Department (KDNKA) and I will discuss (it) in the high-level committee, it’s time to discuss the best measures to protect the welfare of the police and their families, an SOP (standard operating procedure) will be issued soon,” he said as reported by Bernama.
He made the remarks while visiting Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel injured in Tuesday’s collision along Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam here at Teluk Intan Hospital today, together with FRU Commander SAC Rosli Md Yusof.
Razarudin shared that the improvements would also prioritise the safety aspects of vehicles carrying the families of police personnel, including their children to schools, adding that the police were studying the use of buses and dashcams for vehicles.
On the injured personnel in Tuesday’s crash, he said that four were still being treated in Teluk Intan Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU), one at the ICU of Raja Permaisuri Bainun Ipoh Hospital, and two in the normal ward of Teluk Intan Hospital.
The police will also ensure the welfare and assistance to the victims’ next-of-kin, including their children, he added.
"We will ensure their needs and welfare from A to Z. We will try to help if there are other requests from their next-of-kin,” Razarudin said.
Suggestions have been made by various parties that the police review safety aspects of assets carrying personnel for assignments following Tuesday’s collision that killed nine FRU personnel in Teluk Intan. – May 16, 2025
