Malaysian council backs police on accepting all reports without discrimination

The Malaysian Community Crime Prevention Council (MCCC) has voiced strong support for the Royal Malaysia Police's (PDRM) directive to accept all public reports without discrimination based on attire, ethnicity, or background. Daniel Khoo, Chairman of MCCC Pahang, affirmed that this approach upholds principles of justice, equality, and professionalism within the nation's security forces.

Khoo emphasized that every individual deserves protection and assistance when facing emergencies, criminal threats, or life-endangering situations. He welcomed the directive, stating that public safety should transcend any form of discrimination. "All individuals have the right to receive assistance and protection regardless of their attire, ethnicity, or background," he said.

This initiative also demonstrates the PDRM's commitment to prioritizing the public and upholding justice in its duties as the national security force. Khoo believes that fair and attentive treatment from the police not only enhances public trust in the security institutions but also strengthens the bond between the police and the community.

Public trust is crucial for effective crime prevention and eradication. When citizens are confident they will be treated fairly, they are more likely to report incidents, share information, and cooperate with authorities. Khoo urged for the continued strengthening of this humanitarian and professional approach nationwide to ensure the welfare and safety of the people remain paramount.
