SHAH ALAM, Sept 29 — The installation of closed circuit televisions (CCTV) to deter crimes, which was previously concentrated in Johor, Selangor, Penang and Kuala Lumpur, will be expanded to include among others Perak and Kedah, said Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusof.
Speaking at a press conference during a community gathering at the Bukit Jelutong residential area here today, he said the move was part of the government's effort to reduce crime rates under the National Key Result Area.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced an allocation to install an additional 496 CCTVs in 25 local authorities nationwide to combat street crimes.
The 2013 Budget also included RM20 million for 1,000 motorcycles for residential patrol units. — Bernama
