I WOULD like to applaud the recent plan by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to provide bulletproof vests and other equipment to its personnel at control posts along the Malaysia-Thailand border.
It was saddening to read media reports of how one of our General Operations Force personnel was killed last year and his colleague seriously injured after they were shot at by smugglers along the border. Hopefully, this move will offer more protection for our cops.
