KUCHING: The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) here celebrated its 212th Police Day with a grand parade and an entertaining sketch.
Sarawak Deputy Commissioner of Police Datuk Pahlawan Mohd Dzuraidi Ibrahim said the celebration not only symbolises love and loyalty to the force but also a morale booster to those still serving.
“I want to express my gratitude to the retirees for their presence today,” he said at the Sarawak police headquarters yesterday.
He read a speech on behalf of Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Dato Seri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.
“The evolution in which the PDRM has gone through has allowed it to carry out its function as the nation’s oldest law enforcement agency,” he said.
He added that this was represented in the form of delivery of quality and integrative service, “in conjunction with the celebration, all should honour the sacrifices of retirees and the fallen who served and defended the country.”
“We, as the generation of their legacy, must continue to fight for the force,” he added.
The event also saw the presentation of certificates of appreciation, integrity awards and anti-corruption awards to 51 members.
After the presentation, a show was performed to commemorate the experiences and efforts that the retirees and the police force had to go through in their daily lives.
