KUALA LUMPUR: Salaries, logistics and requirements of lower-­ranked police personnel will be given priority in efforts to enhance the integrity of the police force, says Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador (pic).

He said the salaries earned by police with the rank of sergeant and below were low and not enough to cover the cost of living especially for those stationed in the cities.“I’ve asked the government to reconsider salaries to make it comparable with those of policemen in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and in other developed countries.
