PDRM tightens security at Wisma Negeri following exco revocation

SEREMBAN, Sept 25 — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), particularly the Negeri Sembilan police contingent, continues to prioritise public safety and order in light of current developments in the state.

Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said that the PDRM acknowledges the statement from the Attorney General’s Chambers regarding the proclamation dated April 19 and respects the ongoing constitutional and legal processes without making any determinations beyond its jurisdiction.

“PDRM has implemented access management to the Wisma Negeri Office for the former line-up of Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council (MMKN) members immediately following the announcement of the cancellation of their appointments made by the Negeri Sembilan Palace.

“This action is to ensure that the aspects of safety, public order, and smooth operations at the premises are continuously maintained,” he said in a statement here yesterday.

Alzafny also explained that the deployment of police at several locations, including the Tuanku Ja’afar Royal Gallery, the Luak Sungei Ujong Hall, and the State Secretariat yesterday, was to maintain public safety.

He said that any access control at the relevant location is implemented in a controlled manner based on the current security assessment and the premises management requirements, in addition to avoiding any situation that could cause tension or disrupt public order.

He said that the action should not be interpreted as the PDRM favouring or recognising any party in matters that are undergoing constitutional and legal processes.

“As an agency responsible for maintaining peace and enforcing the law, the PDRM will continue to carry out its duties professionally, fairly, and based on the law without favouring any party,” he also said.

He added that the PDRM will not compromise on any actions that violate the law, provoke, disturb public order, or threaten the safety of any individual and institution. — Bernama
