Police Day is a reminder of the oath I took when I joined the Royal Malaysia Police force as a volunteer reserve officer. It is a time when many are watching how we, in public service roles, do our jobs. The recent bad press has put more pressure on all police officers to not just act, but to exemplify the highest standards of integrity.

As they say, what counts cannot always be counted. In today's world, especially with the influence of social media and performance indices, it often feels like what we display outwardly matters more than what is unseen.
