Police Officers Found Visiting Entertainment Outlets in Thailand to be Transferred
Background
Three police officers in Malaysia are facing disciplinary action for allegedly visiting entertainment outlets in Golok, Thailand. The officers, aged between 26 and 32 and holding the ranks of sergeant major, corporal, and lance corporal, are under investigation by the Integrity and Standard Compliance Department (JIPS) at the Kelantan Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK).
Investigation Launched
On November 10, JIPS at the Kelantan IPK received several images and videos showing police personnel suspected of visiting and socialising at an entertainment outlet in Golok. It is believed that they have been visiting these venues since early this year. The investigation is ongoing, and the findings will be submitted to the Kelantan Police Disciplinary Authority for further action.
Action Taken
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has announced that the three police officers will be transferred. One of them has already been transferred from the Integrity and Standard Compliance Division in Pasir Mas to the Kelantan IPK, while the other two, attached to the Tanah Merah district police headquarters, will be transferred out of the Kelantan police contingent.
Additional Information
Razarudin revealed that the police officers are believed to have entered Golok using an illegal entry point and are linked to illegal moneylenders. The JIPS investigation is looking into the allegations and will submit its findings to the Kelantan Police Disciplinary Authority for further action.
Conclusion
The police officers’ alleged misconduct is a serious matter that requires immediate attention. The transfer of the officers is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
