PARLIAMENT | The gates of police stations will now be closed after 10pm, said Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
This is part of new security measures following an attack at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor last May.
“The police station is where people come to lodge their complaints but at the same time, the police station is also a target, so we need to balance the security measures,” Bernama quoted Saifuddin (above) as saying.
The home minister was replying to Abd Ghani Ahmad (PN-Jerlun) in the Dewan Rakyat who wanted to know the government’s efforts in combating new threats of extremism.
Saifuddin pledged that the police will continue to take appropriate measures to curb the spread of extremism in the country.
He noted that acts like calling others infidels (kafir) are very dangerous for society.
“Based on this kind of incident, the police have developed a complete profile on how to mitigate the elements of extremism so that they would not spread or flourish,” Saifuddin added.
Two police personnel - Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, 22, and Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24 - were killed in a brutal attack by a knife-wielding masked man at the Ulu Tiram police station on May 17.
