OCT 14, 2020, was not the best day to start a new job as it was in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, but Asst Comm (ACP) Mohamad Farouk Eshak took it in his stride when he began his tenure as the Ampang Jaya OCPD on that day.

He sits down with Sunday Star to share his experiences from almost two years of leading the district’s police force and how he is prioritising engagement with the community to make Ampang Jaya, Selangor, safer.
