When producer-director Datuk Yusof Haslam was helming the Gerak Khas dramas in the late 1990s – which follows the crime-fighting efforts of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) – he often got notes from the police headquarters in Bukit Aman not to highlight the darker side of policing.

Issues surrounding corruption, bribery and violence were strictly forbidden from being featured in the series that ran for 20 seasons, and ended in 2021, he said.
