DEPUTY Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Home Minister, has recently proposed that all policemen be required to undergo annual medical check-up to ensure that they are physically fit to discharge their duty.
I welcome the directive by Dr Ahmad Zahid which has also been endorsed by the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar. This is indeed very appropriate to safeguard the safety and health of our men and women in blue so that they could fulfil their responsibility effectively.
