KL cops to help police retirees update their information to receive RM500 cash aid

KUALA LUMPUR: City police are offering their help to eligible police retirees to update their information in order to receive the RM500 one-off cash aid allocated to them by the government.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Saiful Azly Kamaruddin (pic) said police retirees who need help updating their information can head to the city police headquarters or any of the district police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur from Feb 17 - 19.

"We will be able to assist them from 8am to 5pm," he said.

Approximately 80,000 police personnel, including retirees who served during the Emergency era, are set to receive a one-time cash aid of RM500 to be implemented in stages from March to November.

Comm Saiful Azly said this includes those who served in Jungle Squad, Senoi Praaq, Sabah & Sarawak Border Scout, auxiliary police, special constabulary, Extra Police Constables, the Home Guards, Women Sarawak Constabulary, and the North Borneo Armed Constabulary who are still living.

"Retirees and former police personnel could update their details through the link http://[e-mail], and the applicant must provide attested supporting documents as required in the Accountant General of Malaysia’s Circular Number 7 of 2018, including a copy of the applicant’s national identity card," he said.

He also reminded all those planning to attend to comply with the movement control order standard operating procedures.
