PADAWAN: The core duty of the police force is to ensure safety and security of the community but this task has not stopped the law enforcers from carrying out community work, especially during Ramadan.
Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity to improve police-community partnerships, the Padawan district police headquarters distributed meals to the less fortunate, frontline personnel and the public.
This effort certainly goes a long way in enhancing contacts between police and citizens.
The breaking-of-fast meal in the form of chicken rice was distributed by Padawan deputy police chief DSP Lim Jaw Shyong together with Persatuan Keluarga Polis (Perkep) IPD Padawan chairperson Lily Malawati at Kota Sentosa police station yesterday.
Lim and his men distributed the meals to the needy from the Mohammad Al Fateh Education Centre, Kota Samarahan.
Personnel from the Semenggoh Army Camp, Police Air Wing Unit (PGU), and police stations under the jurisdiction of Padawan IPD, also received the meals.
Earlier, the iftar meals – the ingredients of which were donated by Tay Motor – were cooked and prepared as early as 10am by Padawan police chief Supt Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad and his men, and members of Padawan Perkep and Padawan Peace Lady (Amanita).
The meals were distributed at 4 pm.
