KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 35 police officers and personnel have been recognised this year for their firmness and courage in rejecting and reporting acts of corruption, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail.
He said that of the total, six received the Inspector-General of Police's Letter of Appreciation, 13 received Certificates of Appreciation and Financial Rewards from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and 16 received MACC Certificates of Appreciation.
He said that based on MACC statistics, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) was among the government agencies with the highest number of recipients of such recognition, involving 437 officers and personnel between 2012 and 2025.
"This achievement demonstrates the firm stand taken by members of the force in combating corruption, a stance that should be emulated by all police personnel,” he said at the launch of the 2026 PDRM Integrity Month celebration here on Wednesday (Nov 11).
Mohd Khalid stressed that integrity must begin with oneself by upholding the values of honesty, responsibility and diligence in every decision made.
He said that as the country's law enforcement agency, every action taken by members of the force reflects the police's credibility, professionalism and authority in the eyes of the public.
As such, he called for the continuous strengthening of good values through more intensive education and training to mould police personnel who consistently uphold the trust placed in them and understand the limits of their authority. — Bernama
