IGP: Let Us Protect Your Home for Raya

Top Cop urges public going away for holidays to sign up with police for Balik Kampung visits

THE Royal Malaysian Police plans to go on a nationwide drive to encourage house owners to sign up for police visits to their empty homes during festive seasons.

Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the ongoing Balik Kampung program which has proven to be effective in bringing crime down during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Christmas would be emulated across the country.

"Yes. We want to extend this service to all States. This will bring the community and police together especially during the festive season."

"Please participate in this programme. We can watch over your house while you are away for your holidays," he said to reporters after giving out awards to outstanding police personnel recently at the USJ8 Police Station.

Musa said all information contained in the police "Balik Kampung" forms would be treated with the highest confidentiality.

Under the programme, residents going away for the holidays can sign up at the nearest police station to have the cops visit their vacant homes regularly. This programme increases police presence in the immediate area and has proven to successfully bring crime rates down.

Also present at the event was Selangor CPO Dato Khalid Abu Bakar.
