News Update by Audrey Edwards of The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: Becoming a member of the police force should be the top choice of Malaysians when they choose a profession, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.
"Presently, I believe the post is chosen by those who don't have anything else to do. Tak boleh buat apa, jadi polis (Nothing to do, become a policeman).
"But we want police to be the first choice among Malaysians. Because they know that the job is a noble one, where they uphold the law and ensure peace and security," he told reporters on Friday after attending the 198th Police Day celebrations.
He also urged Malaysians to give the police due recognition and acknowledge their success so far.
