KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Cooperation between the police and the
media is important to the police in combating crime, said Kuala Lumpur police
chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh.
He said media reports on police''s successes in fighting crime would enhance
their image and credibility in the eyes of the society, thus raising public
confidence on their safety and security.
"I hope this cooperation will continue," he said at a dinner in honour of
the media and the Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) hosted by Kuala
Lumpur police here tonight.
Mohmad called on the media to publish clear, balanced and accurate reports
on a particular issue.
Describing the police ties with MCPF is getting closer, he hoped other
non-governmental organisations would emulate MCPF in supporting police
activities in an effort to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life in the
capital.
MCPF chairman Datuk William Lim and Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Datuk
Amar Singh Ishar Singh were present.
