Demand for bodyguards on the rise

Most bodyguards are usually ex-army and ex-police personnel and they have to undergo a three-month course with Super Force to become a bodyguard.

THIS YEAR has been a tough one for Malaysians when it comes to crime. Despite the best efforts of the Royal Malaysian Police to reduce crime, many Malaysians are still not feeling safe.

According to official statistics, for the first nine months of this year, there were 4,436 violent assault cases compared to 6,244 cases for the whole of 2012.
