 INTRODUCTION OF ROYAL MALAYSIAN POLICE (RMP)

The Royal Malaysia Police (often abbreviated RMP) (Malay: Polis Diraja Malaysia

(PDRM)), is a (primarily) uniformed federal police force in Malaysia. The force is a

centralised organisation. Its headquarters are located at Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur. The

police force is led by an Inspector-General of Police (IGP) who, as of September 2017,

was Tan Sri Dato' Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.

The constitution, control, employment, recruitment, funding, discipline, duties and

powers of the police force are specified and governed by the Police Act 1967. In carrying

out its responsibilities, the regular RMP is also assisted by a support group of Extra Police

Constables, Police Volunteer Reserves, Auxiliary Police, Police Cadets and a civilian

service element.

Rakan Cop is a community outreach programme launched on 9 August 2005. The

RMP constantly co-operates closely with police forces worldwide, including from those

six neighbouring countries Malaysia shares a border with: Indonesian National

Police,Philippine National Police, Royal Brunei Police Force,[3] Royal Thai Police,

Singapore Police Force and Vietnam People's Public Security.

A police force has been in existence in Malaysia since the days of the Malacca

Sultanate. Malacca's canonical law created what was essentially a police force in

Malaysia in the fifteenth century, through the institution of the Temenggung and

Hulubalang, or royal warriors. During the Sultan of Malacca's absence, the Bendahara,

or Prime Minister, held absolute authority, with the power to hand out sentences, but it

4
was the Temenggung who acted as the Police Chief or Inspector General of Police. His

tasks were to arrest criminals, build jails and implement sentences. Apart from the

Temenggung, there were a number of Penghulu or village chiefs who had the duty of

detroy their respective villages. Their main tasks included tax collection, law enforcement

and preserving village security. These Malacca police systems ended when, on 10 August

1511, a Portuguese fleet led by Afonso de Albuquerque conquered Malacca for the

Portuguese crown. Police duties were then largely performed by the Portuguese soldiers.

During the sixteenth century, Malaysia became a cosmopolitan society and the

Portuguese government introduced the Kapitan administration. On 14 January 1641,

however, the Portuguese lost Malacca to the Dutch Empire, when the Dutch invaded with

the help of soldiers from Johor state, at a time when the Portuguese were at war with the

Sultanate of Acheh. The Dutch retained the Kapitan system, but when the growing

number of Europeans in Malaysia made change necessary, a police force known as the

'Burgher Guard' was established. The Burgher Guard was controlled by the Dutch, but

their subordinates were made up of the local citizens. Village leaders continued to

assume the duties of policemen under Dutch rule, as they had since before the

Portuguese arrived.

Following the assimilation of Malacca into the British Empire in 1795, a modern

police organisation in Malaysia was formed, on 25 March 1807, after the Charter of

Justice in Penang was granted. Most of the officers were of British origin. Later, this

organisation was developed in the Straits Settlements and other Malay states, particularly

the Federated Malay States. At that time, independent police forces were established for

each respective state. Only after World War II was a central police organisation formed,

5
known as the Civil Affairs Police Force. This organisation was formed in Malaya and led

by a British colonial, H.B. Longworthy, who had to stabilise the police forces after the

anarchy of Japanese occupation. One of the immediate problems faced by the police at

this time was the rebellion of the communist party. During the confrontation between

Malaysia and Indonesia, which lasted from 1963 to 1965, the police force, along with

military forces, fought against the infiltration of Indonesian forces into the states of Johor

and Sabah.

Almost a year after Independence Day, on 24 July 1958, the King of Malaysia,

Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhamad, bestowed the title Royal to the

Malayan Federations Police Force. In 1963, the Royal Federation of Malayan Police

(RFMP), the North Borneo Armed Constabulary and the Sarawak Constabulary were

merged to form the Royal Malaysia Police. The Singapore Police Force became a

component unit of the RMP until Singapore's independence in 1965.

 LOGO

 Moon and star

The Moon and Star symbolise Islam as the official religion of Malaysia.

 Crown

The crown, depicted on the Royal Malaysia Police insignia, is a panegyric

reference to the King of Malaysia, bestowing the "Royal" title to its name. The

words Allah and Muhammad in Arabic, which respectively symbolise Allah the

Almighty and Muhammad as the Messenger, signifies Islam as the official religion

and faith of RMP personnel, who are willing to uphold justice and the security of

the people of Malaysia.

7
 Kris and the Ilang sword

The Kris is an important symbol of the Malay Peninsular. This particular weapon

was used by Malay warriors in the past. According to Frey (2003), who concluded

from Sir Stamford Raffles' (1817) study of the Candi Sukuh, the kris came into

existence around AD 1361. Others believe that early forms were inspired by the

daggers of the Dong-Son in Vietnam (circa 300 BC). In the temples of Borobudur

(825 CE) and Prambanan (850CE), renderings of the Kris have been found.

The traditional machete, Ilang or Klewang symbolises the states of Sarawak

and Sabah in East Malaysia and it represents the spirit of heroism of a multitude

of ethnic tribes such as the Dayak, Dusun, Bajau and Kadazan.

 Tiger head

The tiger head symbolises courage, strength and spirits of RMP. Previously, RMP

used a lion head as the symbol of courage from 16 September 1963, after the

formation of Malaysia, until 15 May 1994, when it was replaced with the tiger head

by an official order of Malaysian government. The former lion head also symbolised

the states of Singapore (until 1965) and Sabah.

 Paddy flower

Paddy flower is a reference to paddy and rice, the staple food for Malaysians and

it signifies national prosperity.

8
 MOTTO

 RMP ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The police force of Malaysia is a centralized police force which is one of the largest

laws enforcing agency of the security forces structure of the country. The Royal Malaysia

police is headquartered at Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur and is arranged in an hierarchical

manner.

The Police hierarchy of Malaysia is arranged in a well-knit format and covers up

all the security operations of the country ranging from patrolling to traffic control and

intelligence gathering.

The police force of Malaysia is subdivided into many departments, each one

specializing in a particular field of security. Two departments of the police force are

involved in the administration of the entire force and for managing the entire police

activities at all levels of police hierarchy in Malaysia. These are Management and

Logistics departments. Apart from these, there are few more departments directly

involved in the security based activities.

 FIREARMS

Within the Royal Malaysia Police, officers and personnel are not routinely armed.

Special police officers are usually trained to a higher standard than regular personnel,

because they are likely to be the officers required to enter besieged premises. The vast

majority of firearms used by the Malaysian Police are semi-automatic and fully automatic.

Use order

Following an Inspector-General of Police Firm Order D222, firearm use was

deemed as needed. For example, using firearms to dismiss an illegal assembly or riot as

shown in the Public Security manual. Use of firearms may be needed to repel an attack

on top police station or police observation posts. Also, firearms could be used when an

officer and/or members may be killed or hurt or weapons seized/station or property

captured or destroyed. Additionally, prisoner escape could warrant such use. Police

officers can use the firearm during roadblock duty or Narcotics Department operations,

Criminal Investigation Department, Traffic Police and all branches that are carrying out

duties where policeman life or public property is in jeopardy.

Standard weapons

Firearms in service vary between police forces in Malaysia, due to individual

Constables and Police Authorities dictating the number of firearms officers and police

firearms available to each force. Despite being armed, police constables still carry the

standard issue T-batons, pepper spray and Hiatts Speedcuffs as well as Walther P99

standard issue sidearm.

18
Heavier weapons

The General Operations Force armour corps and Marine Operations Force use a

range of heavier weapons up to automatic cannon of 30mm calibre deployed on the

armour personnel carrier and patrol vessels.

Procurement

The Colt Advanced Piston Carbine (APC) is set to become the standard assault

rifle of the police Special Operations Force units, the UTK and the VAT69 replacing the

Bushmaster Carbon 15 carbines. Although some of the units had already purchased other

rifles to replace Carbon 15s, the contract signed between the Home Ministry and SMEO

Sdn Bhd, today indicated that the APC will become the standard assault rifle for them.

The contract for the 2,000 APCs – signed at the ongoing GPEC Asia 2015 – worth

some RM8.4 million clearly marked the end of the Carbon 15 reign as the Special Ops

assault rifle. Although already superseded by small batches of HK416s and the Ferfrans

SCW in certain teams of the UTK and VAT69, the Carbon 15 remained in the inventory,

mostly for the lack of anything else. Apart from anecdotes from operators, no one had

published the full details of the Carbon 15 travails in service however.

RMP also set to join the Malaysian Armed Forces by having the Colt M4 Carbine

as its standard rifle with some 15,000 units expected to be procured. GOF which is mostly

equipped with Colt M16A1 rifles – is expected to be the first unit to receive the carbines.

However, unlike the Armed Forces, the police’s M4s will come equipped with additional

accessories like weapon lights and optics. National Aerospace & Defence Industries Sdn

Bhd (NADI) senior vice president of Defence Tan Sri Mohd Shahrom Nordin told

19
Malaysian Defence that the deal has been approved by the Treasury and the Home

Ministry. He added however that the SME Ordnance Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of NADI have

yet to get the confirmation from PDRM of the contract signing. Mohd Shahrom also said

that SMEO had recently completed the delivery of some 200 Colt CM901 7.62mm rifles

also to the police for its Special Forces unit, VAT69.

20
 POLICE UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT

General Operations Force wears dark navy blue long sleeve shirts along with their

dark navy blue cargo pants tucked into military boots. The new Police Constable uniform

was introduced in 2008. The headgear is a dark navy blue beret with a silver police force

emblem on top of the left eye. Dark navy blue long sleeve shirts are worn along with dark

navy blue cargo pants tucked into military boots.

A personal name tag is worn on the right side together with the police shield above

it while the word "Polis" ("police" in Malay) is emblazoned in the other side. A police

service number is under the name tag and a rank insignia on the right arm.

The Sam Browne belt was replaced by the brand new ballistic nylon police duty

belt equipped with a standard issue Walther P99 or Px4 Storm handgun, two extra 10

round magazines, a pair of Hiatt Speedcuffs, a T-baton, a pepper spray, an LED torch

and a walkie-talkie. Sometimes they are equipped with a Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-

machine-gun during special situations.

Traffic officers wears white helmet or dark navy blue cap while on duty, a white

long sleeve shirt with a reflective yellow vest, black riding pants with a yellow stripe and

riding boots. Their equipment is the same as constables except that they have a whistle

in their left pocket.

 FINDINGS

The Royal Malaysian Police (Abbreviation: RMP; Malay: Polis Diraja Malaysia,

PDRM;) is a part of the security forces structure in Malaysia. The force is a centralized

organization with responsibilities ranging from traffic control to intelligence gathering. It’s

headquarters is located at Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the regular RMP is also assisted by a support

group comprising of Extra Police Constables, Police Volunteer Reserves, Auxiliary Police,

Police Cadets and a civilian service element. Rakan Cop is a community outreach

programme launched in 9 August 2005.

The RMP constantly co-operates closely with police forces worldwide, which

include those from the four neighbouring countries Malaysia shares border with:

Indonesian National Police, Royal Brunei Police Force, Royal Thai Police and Singapore

Police Force.

The modern police organization in Malaysia started in 25 March 1807 after the

Charter of Justice in Penang was granted. Most of the officers were of British origin. Later

this organization was developed in the Straits Settlements and other Malay State,

particularly the Federal Malay States. At that time, police organization was limited to their

respective states. Only after World War II, a single police organization with maiden

administration of the centre was established and it was known as the Civil Affairs Police

Force. This organization was formed in Malaya and led by H. B. Longworthy.

36
 The British colonial had to stabilize the police organization after a nationwide

anarchy took place during Japanese state time. One of the problems faced by the police

then was the rebellion of the communist party. During the confrontations of Malaysia and

Indonesian forces from 1963 to 1965, the police force along with military forces fought

against the infiltrations of Indonesian forces in the sates of Johore and Sabah.

Almost a year after Independence Day, on July 24, 1958, the King of Malaysia,

Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhamad (late) bestowed the

Royal title to the Malayan Federations Police Forces. In 1963, the Royal federation Of

Malayan Police (RFMP), the North Borneo Armed Constabulary and Sarawak

Constabulary was merged and formed the Royal Malaysian Police.

37
 CONCLUSION

Today’s police has tradition based on values of courage, initiatives and teamwork.

The one thing that ties all these values together. Investigative police work is mostly about

the recovery, analysis and interpretation of information about criminal offences (Osterburg

and Ward, 2007). As Luen & AlHawamdeh (2001) state, timely and accurate information

is critical to the success of policing. The activities and work carried out by police forces

are increasingly in the areas of crime prevention as well as in incident management,

investigation and community policing.

Crime prevention implies activities such as surveillance, patrolling and guarding.

These activities can be carried out through both reactive and proactive means. Reactive

measures such as roadblocks, spot-check and showing police presence are routinely

carried out by police officers as part as their investigative duties. Proactive measures

include public education to help prevent crime. At the same time, police forces are

increasingly accountable to government at various levels and to the community at large

for various aspects of their performances, and are expected to communicate with

government and the public about what they are doing (Collier, Edwards, & Shaw, 2004).

Luen and Al-Hawamdeh (2001) find that the vast knowledge that police officers need in

order to perform their normal duties suggest the need for police officers to be proficient

knowledge workers, being able to access, assimilate and use knowledge effectively to

discharge their duties
