KUANTAN: A total of 6,646 police officers have faced disciplinary action for various offences from 2020 until September 2024, says Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.
He said these included dismissal (613 individuals), demotion (120), pay reduction (68), forfeiture of emoluments (641) and salary increment suspension (152).
He added that the offences committed included aspects of integrity, crime, corruption, drugs and syariah laws.
"If there is any information on police wrongdoing, whether a senior or junior officer, you can contact and channel information to me.
"I will take action and ensure your (the informant's) identity is protected," he said when presenting a talk on Cultivating Integrity Among Civil Servants in conjunction with the Kuantan City Council-level Integrity Day Celebration 2024 here on Monday (Nov 19).
Ayob Khan later said stern action must be taken against those involved in wrongdoing or the people would lose their trust in and respect for the police.
"That's why I always stress that we will take action irrespective of rank and position... as leaders, don't just aspire to be popular and afraid to take action," he said. – Bernama
