MIRI: A total of 40 police officers from various ranks in Miri received a letter of appreciation each at Miri District Police Headquarters in conjunction with the 216th Police Day celebration here yesterday.
All certificates were presented by Miri district police chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu.
The 216th Police Day celebrations were held simultaneously yesterday (Monday) across the country, with the theme ‘Polis dan Masyarakat Berpisah Tiada'( Police and society are Inseparable ).
Alexson at the event had also read out Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani’s text of speech.
Amongst other things in his 216th Police Day message, Acryl Sani calls for the entire police force to renew their oath of allegiance to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the nation.
Also present to witness the event were Minister for Transport Sarawak Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin, Miri deputy police chief Supt Moh Sabri Zainol and head of various government departments including local Temengongs and Penghulus.
The celebration is held on March 25 each year as an appreciation to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel for their service in carrying out the responsibility entrusted to them in maintaining peace and security in the country.
This year, the celebration to commemorate the event was held five days earlier than the actual date because of the fasting month is starting soon.
