KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Negara on Monday approved the Police Bill 2024, which, among others, stipulates the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the Honorary Commissioner-in-Chief of the Royal Malaysia Police to give recognition to the King in matters of PDRM ceremonial affairs.
Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah, when winding up the debate, said the bill involves 10 clauses, including two new sections, six amendments to existing sections, and one amendment to the existing schedule to meet the current needs, functions, and roles of PDRM. Meanwhile, Shamsul Anuar said the government has no intention of discontinuing the use of outriders because the squads not only escort VVIPs but are also involved in the delivery of explosives, Bank Negara money in transit, examination papers and others.
Regarding allegations that the bill was rushed without involving engagement sessions, especially with stakeholders, and did not reflect democratic practices in Malaysia, Shamsul Anuar emphasised that every law made would involve the relevant ministries and agencies.
