PETALING JAYA: The police have enhanced their security controls and increased the number of officers as well as personnel assigned at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminals 1 and 2 since Tuesday.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said security controls and monitoring currently involve officers and personnel from the KLIA police headquarters, the General Operations Force (GOF) and the internal security and public order department.
He said 23 officers and personnel are stationed at Terminal 1, and 14 at Terminal 2, on a three-shift daily rotation, with prowler assignments at eight entry and exit points in the departure and arrival halls of both terminals.
“The enhanced security controls and patrols is a form of commitment by the police force in facing any possibilities and to ensure the safety and public order at key entry points into Malaysia.
“Two personnel from the KLIA police headquarters are stationed at every level, including the arrival area at the third floor and the departure area at the fifth floor of Terminal 1. The personnel will also be in full uniform and armed with HK MP5 submachine guns.
“They will partner with GOF personnel in full operational gear and armed with their primary and secondary weapons,” he told Bernama.
On Sunday, a man fired two shots, one hitting the bodyguard of his wife, in an incident at 1.30am at the Terminal 1 arrival hall. - FMT
