MIC youth chief Mohan says offering higher positions would encourage more youths to join PDRM, and address the issue of high Indian involvement in crime.
KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Youth today urged the Home Ministry to appoint a representative from the Indian community to a top level position in the police force, perhaps even as a deputy inspector general of police.
Youth chief T Mohan said a top ranking police officer such as the DIG would help to reduce crime among Indians.
“Even though the Home Ministry has agreed to recruit more Indians to the police force, it will not satisfy the community, if Indians are not promoted to higher positions,” he told reporters at the MIC headquarters here.
Mohan said that Indian police personnel had in the past held top positions in the police force.
“But, the situation has changed now. Indian youths are reluctant to join the force because they feel there is no future for them in the force,” he added.
He also called upon the Defence Ministry to do more to recruit Indians into the armed forces.
In another development, Mohan invited Indian youths for a special recruitment exercise to join the police force and the army. The selection process will be held on Oct 14 at the La Salle Brickfields secondary school.
