Forest City, a major property development in Iskandar Puteri, Malaysia, has expressed strong support for the establishment of a permanent police station within its premises. The company views this as a crucial step towards ensuring the rule of law and safeguarding public welfare in the burgeoning international city.

In a statement, Forest City affirmed its commitment to collaborating closely with local enforcement agencies. This cooperation is intended to uphold the sovereignty of law and maintain the safety and well-being of the community. The development company emphasized that as Forest City evolves into a new international tax-free city, strengthening community policing is a priority.

Forest City believes that a permanent police presence will significantly bolster crime prevention efforts, enhance the capacity for rapid response to incidents, and provide more accessible policing services for residents, businesses, and visitors. Such a measure is anticipated to boost public confidence and support the continued growth of Forest City as a secure and competitive urban center.

The company's statement highlighted that this initiative aligns with their ongoing efforts to strengthen cooperation with the government and all relevant enforcement agencies. The goal is to uphold the rule of law and elevate public safety standards. This proactive stance comes shortly after Johor Police Chief Datuk Ab. Rahaman Arsad reported the arrest of 335 individuals involved in online scam syndicates operating from apartments and bungalows within the Forest City area.

The establishment of a permanent police station in Forest City can strengthen crime prevention efforts, improve response capabilities, and provide easier access to police services for residents, the business community, and visitors.
