KUALA LUMPUR: 

Five police personnel from the General Operations Force (GOF), who rejected bribes while on duty in Kelantan on Monday, have received letters of appreciation from the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Razarudin Husain.

A post on the police force Facebook page today named the five police personnel as Mohd Norzahirudin Jufri, Muhamad Hanif Abd Halim, Osmizan Osman, Mohd Shariffuddin Sulaiman and Wan Mohd Abbasi Wan Abdllah @ Wan Mamat.

Razarudin also extended his thanks to all of them for consistently adhering to the principles of integrity while safeguarding the country’s borders.

“What has been done (rejecting bribes) should serve as an example for their other comrades not to easily fall into dishonourable acts that can tarnish the reputation of the Royal Malaysia Police, and consequently our future,” he said when presenting the letters of appreciation at Bukit Aman here.

Also present at the event were internal security and public order department acting director Mohamad Suzrin Mohamad Rodhi and GOF southeast brigade commander Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid.

In an operation on Dec 9, an agent for a migrant smuggling syndicate attempted to bribe police personnel with RM50,000 while they were carrying out their duties in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

In the operation, conducted together with the 9th Battalion of the GOF, 16 undocumented Myanmar nationals and three smugglers were successfully apprehended. - FMT
