HISTORY

The modern police organization in Malaysia started in 25th March 1807 after the

Charter of Justice in Penang was granted. In 1895, four Federated Malay States were

merged into a federation.

The federation united all its police forces on 1 July 1896. According to the federation's

constitution, the police force, customs, Department of Survey, labour and defence
departments were placed under government jurisdiction (headquartered in Kuala

Lumpur). Its police force was headed by a commissioner and a chief of police. Although

the commissioner was responsible for upper administration and surveillance, the police

force was controlled by the Malay Associate States Chief Secretary

The first Federated States Police Commissioner was Captain H. C. Syers (superintendent

of Selangor), moved the state police headquarters from Klang to Kuala Lumpur. He was

followed by Christian Wagner. Under Syers, the police changed; a blue uniform was

introduced. State uniforms were differentiated by the shape of the button and badge.

The Police Force Act was passed on 9 January 1967, enumerating the roles and
responsibilities of the Federated Malay States Police. The armed police were recognised as a
civilian (rather than a military) body in 1934. Malays, Chinese and Indians were recruited,
commanded by British officers. After Indian independence, Sikhs and Punjabis enlisted. Their
uniform consisted of a songkok, tunic and trousers (similar to a British policeman, but white),
with a sarong on top

Later, this organization was developed in the Straits Settlements and other Malay State,

particularly the Federal Malay States. During this time, police organization was limited to

their respective states

During World War II, when Malaya was conquered by the Japanese, the Federated Malay

States Police was eliminated. The British colonial had to stabilize the police organization

after a nationwide anarchy took place. One of the problems faced by the police then

when was the rebellion of the communist party

But after the World War II, a single police organization with maiden administration of the

centre was established and it was known as the Civil Affairs Police Force. This organization

was formed in Malaya and led by H. B. Longworthy

Almost a year after Independence Day, on July 24, 1958, the King of Malaysia, Almarhum

Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhamad bestowed the Royal title to the

Malayan Federations Police Forces. The title was bestowed in appreciation of the role

played by the police during the Malayan Emergency

In 1963, the Royal federation Of Malayan Police (RFMP), the North Borneo Armed

Constabulary and Sarawak Constabulary was merged and formed the Royal Malaysian

Police

RMP'S MOTTO AND
FLAG

MOTTO

"Polis dan Masyarakat, Berpisah Tiada"
("Police and The Community, Will Not Separate")

The RMP motto represents team spirit and
determination.









SANG SAKA BIRU

The PDRM flag is called the Blue Perennial or Sang Saka
Biru, each colour has its own distinctive meaning and

the flag symbolises the force's pride and integrity.
The flag and insignia of the Royal Malaysia Police has a

blue-coloured background which symbolises the
Malaysian masses. In the centre of the flag is the PDRM

symbol coloured silver or white. The police symbol is
made up of an intersected Kris and Ilang / Klewang
machete. Above the PDRM symbol, there is a tiger head
in a garland of Paddy flowers, with a scroll underneath
bearing the name Polis Diraja Malaysia. Arabic lettering
in the Crown includes the words Allah on the right and

Muhammad on the left.

RMP'S LOGO

MOON AND STAR
The Moon and Star symbolises Islam as the official religion of Malaysia.

CROWN
The crown, depicted on the Royal Malaysia Police insignia, is a panegyric
reference to the King of Malaysia, bestowing the "Royal" title to its name.
The words Allah and Muhammad in Arabic, which respectively symbolize
Allah the Almighty and Muhammad as the Messenger, signifies Islam as
the official religion and faith of RMP personnel are willing to uphold justice

and the security of the people of Malaysia.
KRIS AND ILANG SWORD

The Kris is an important symbol of the Malay Peninsula. This particular
weapon was used by Malay warriors in the past. According to Frey (2003),
who concluded from Sir Stamford Raffles' (1817) study of the Candi Sukuh,

the kris came into existence around AD 1361. Others believe that early
forms were inspired by the daggers of the Dong-Son in Vietnam (circa 300

BC). In the temples of Borobudur (825 CE) and Prambanan (850CE),
renderings of the Kris have been found.

The traditional machete, Ilang or Klewang symbolises the states of
Sarawak and Sabah in East Malaysia and it represents the spirit of heroism

of a multitude of ethnic tribes such as the Dayak, Dusun, Bajau and
Kadazan.

TTIGER HEAD
The tiger head symbolises courage, strength and spirits of RMP. Previously,
RMP used a lion head as the symbol of courage from 16 September 1963,

after the formation of Malaysia, until 15 May 1994, when it was replaced
with the tiger head by an official order of Malaysian government. The
former lion head also symbolised the states of Singapore (until 1965) and

Sabah.
PADDY FIELD
Paddy flower is a reference to paddy and rice, the staple food for
Malaysians and it signifies national prosperity.

LEGAL PERSONNEL

Police is a judicial or artificial person because they works in an organisation
which are treated by the law as if they were persons. Means here, police
referred to the whole RMP and not the police itself.

The constitution, control, employment, recruitment, funding, discipline, duties
and powers of the police force are specified and governed by the Police Act
1967. In carrying out its responsibilities, the regular RMP is also assisted by a
support group of Extra Police Constables, Police Volunteer Reserves, Auxiliary
Police, Police Cadets and a civilian service element.

The RMP constantly co-operates with police forces worldwide, including from
those six neighbouring countries Malaysia shares a border with, Indonesian
National Police, Philipines National Police, Royal Brunei Police Force, Royal Thai
Police, Singapore Police Force and Vietnam People's Public Security.

Ahmad, stated that out of the seven incidents documented, four included prison fatalities.

He stated that one person passed away on the route to the hospital and another person died at
the hospital in the other two incidents.
He assured them that all incidents of death in police custody would be looked into by the

Criminal Investigation Unit on Deaths in Custody (USJKT), which was established under JIPS last
January.

He stated at a special press conference in Bukit Aman that the investigation will be carried out
in full transparency and without any compromise.
According to Azri, PDRM had suggested setting up an integrated clinic at police holding

facilities to keep an eye on the wellbeing of those under their care.

According to him, those in police custody who had health issues would be referred to the
closest hospital under the existing PDRM Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

COMPANY DIRECTOR CHARGED IN RM1.1 MIL GRAFT CASE IN CONNECTION WITH

PDRM’S TENDER

In the Sessions Court in Shah Alam, a business owner was charged on Tuesday (Aug. 16) with two

charges of corruption totaling RM1.1 million for assisting a firm to get a contract from the Royal

Malaysian Police (PDRM) in 2019.
Mohd Shazwan Shaharuddin, 37, was accused of collecting RM1.1 million in bribes from Ukasyah

Amiruddin, 33, a worker at SR Express (M) Sdn Bhd, in exchange for assisting the business get a

contract to provide, process, print, and post PDRM summons notifications.

On December 23 and December 31, 2019, a bank in Setia Alam, a nearby city, is where the alleged
crime was conducted.
The charges are framed under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission

(MACC) Act 2009 and are punishable under Section 24 of the law. If found guilty, the defendant

faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of at least RM10,000 or five times the
amount or value of the bribe, whichever is greater.

He was granted RM55,000 on bail with two sureties by Judge Rozilah Salleh for both offenses.

Additionally, he was told to appear once a month at the neighborhood MACC office.
The hearing date was set on September 20. Noralis Mat, a deputy public prosecutor, brought the

case, and Mohd Shazwan was represented by lawyer Ridha Abdah Subri.

CASES RELATED DISCIPLINARY ACTION TAKEN AGAINST 1,391 POLICEMEN IN 2013 - IGP

1,391 police officers, or around 1% of the 112,000 personnel of the Royal Malaysian Police

(PDRM), faced disciplinary action, including expulsion. Instances of indiscipline have included
corruption, misuse of authority, carelessness, harming the PDRM's reputation, and

insubordination.

Any police officers suspected of corruption will be reported for an inquiry to the Malaysian Anti-
Corruption Commission (MACC). The concerned cops will be submitted to the PDRM's

disciplinary committee for punishment if the MACC was unable to charge them owing to a lack
of evidence. In order to ease recordkeeping, officers and members of PDRM were required to

declare their assets every five years. For individuals accused of corruption, we would review

their assets as well as those of their family members.

An integrity and standard compliance department will be established to keep an eye on PDRM
members for illegal behaviors that would damage the public's trust in the force

PDRM's main priority in becoming a top-tier police force will be on maintaining public order

and peace, preventing crime, and strengthening integrity and standards of compliance.
