Call for upward revision of housing allowances for police personnel in Johor Bahru and other major cities to offset higher cost of living
During the visit of my team to the Johor Baru Utara Police and the briefing by the Johore Baru OCPD Assistant Commissioner Mohd Taib Ahmad and the other police chiefs in JB Utara district, I was shocked to learn of the terrible condition of police housing in the area.
I am reminded of one of the 11 recommendations of the Police Royal commission 14 years ago which recommended the formation of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) which was headed by former
Chief Justice Tun Mohamad Dzaiddin and former and longest-serving Inspector-General of Police, Tun Hanif Omar to improve the welfare for the police force.
One of these recommendations proposed the
provision of “special allowance for PDRM personnel stationed in major cities, such as the Klang Valley, Johor Bahru, and Georgetown to offset the higher cost of living faced by them”.

Previous Government had forgotten about the five principles of Rukunegara or it would never have allowed Malaysia to become a global kleptocracy heading in the trajectory of a failed and rogue state

Slightly over a year ago, Malaysians performed a political miracle when against all odds, they peacefully and democratically saved Malaysia from becoming a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state.
The previous government and its Ministers and leaders had forgotten about the five principles of Rukunegara or they would never have allowed Malaysia to become a global kleptocracy heading in the trajectory of a failed and rogue state.
This is why all Malaysians must always remember the Rukunegara, the principles and objectives, which state:
“WHEREAS OUR COUNTRY, MALAYSIA nurtures the ambitions of:
· Achieving a more perfect unity amongst the whole of her society;
· Preserving a democratic way of life;
· Creating a just society where the prosperity of the country can be enjoyed together in a fair and equitable manner;
· Guaranteeing a liberal approach towards her rich and varied cultural traditions; and
· Building a progressive society that will make use of science and modern technology.
WE, HER PEOPLE, pledge our united efforts to attain these ends guided by these principles:
· BELIEF IN GOD
· LOYALTY TO KING AND COUNTRY
· THE SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION
· THE RULE OF LAW
· COURTESY AND MORALITY.”
