Police douse flames on 'KL 6th most dangerous city'

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) have denied the claim by a website that has listed Kuala Lumpur as the sixth most dangerous city in the world.     

A statement issued by the PDRMFacebook yesterday claimed the allegation was untrue, and urged the public not to believe the information or disseminate it.     

"The public is urged not to easily believe and spread information from the website, which is not validated, as it was not referred to the police.     

"Malaysians should also be responsible and ethical disseminators of information by ensuring any information obtained and shared out is from an official source," it said.     

The police Facebooktrumpeted its crime statistics, saying “from 2010 to 2012, PDRM successfully reduced the crime index in Kuala Lumpur by 31.8 percent”.
