Rookie cops fall under urban poor category, says Bukit Aman CID chief

KUALA LUMPUR: With a starting salary of just RM1,441 per month, new police personnel fall under the B40 category, making them part of the urban poor community, says Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain.

The Bukit Aman CID director said the situation is exacerbated if recruits are sent to big cities such as Kuala Lumpur.
