KUALA LUMPUR: A private vehicle bearing a logo that resembles the police emblem is being investigated to determine if it complies with the law.
Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Ahmad Azwan Amin Nordin said police have taken notice of a social media post showing the vehicle in question.
"Preliminary investigations found that the logo on the vehicle is not the official police emblem, but has a similar visual appearance.
"The logo belongs to a welfare organisation known as Pertubuhan Kebajikan Nurqaseh, which is legally registered.
"Police are conducting further investigations to determine if using the logo on the vehicle complies with existing laws or is intended to mislead the public," he said in a statement on Wednesday (Nov 11).
He said attempts to imitate or modify symbols resembling security entities could cause confusion and tarnish the image of the police.
