Royal Malaysia Police (RMP)

 Malay: Police Diraja Malaysia (PDRM)

History

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 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 policing 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, 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.

Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur and is arranged in a 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

All these departments are handled by their respective officers and the hierarchy in all
these departments, in terms of police ranks & designations is almost similar, with few
variations. The entire police force is served by two types of officers – Gazetted Officers /
Senior Officers and File Officers / Subordinate Officers. Further the gazetted officers are
subdivided into two levels – Commissioners and Superintendents. Following is the police
hierarchy in Malaysia that is observed in its rank structure:
Gazetted Officers

These are the high ranked officers of police. These officers wear their insignia as a
part of their uniform on epaulettes on both of their shoulders. These officers are more
involved in planning, heading and leading the critical operations. They are also
responsible for extending their assistance in any law & security related issue pertaining
to the excise, quarantine, revenue, immigration, registration or any legal system marine
matter. Another major activity performed by the police officers at this level of police

responsible to safeguarding the country's average and well-being of society so the
strength of PDRM in managing the issue of reducing the crime rate in Malaysia is that;
● PDRM always work with PDRM teams around the world to issue that the prime
reading discrimination from day to day.
● Apart from that, PDRM plays great emphasis on the pitch of the Malaysia
community from criminal harassment and always ensure that crime is always in
time custody PDRM is also very meticulous in enriching their development from
time to time
● PDRM achieves great importance to honest disparity and possible in reducing
crime in the country PDRM is very diligent in carrying out Amana Nagara and
always keep in mind national rules that have been determined by the relevant
parties The religion of criminal case in the country will of course be taken into
consideration by PDRM for progress of Malaysia in the future to produce a
reversible generation and always stay away from criminal cases

 ● Efficient in make recover and enemy not easily detect the personal of squad
PDRM
● Effective in resolve case and very focus in give punishment at prisoners
● Constantly co-operates closely with police force worldwide
● Community-Oriented Policing Posture

WEAKNESSES

Drawback where Malaysia average crime is rising and difficult to reduce, this is due to
the:

● PDRM's ineffective control in reducing criminal cases in Malaysia from

time-to-time
● PDRM needs to develop their skills to be more active and trustworthy and
responsible with everything handed to them in order reduce average crime in
Malaysia, as a result the average case can be successfully ruled
● PDRM has to be more conscious that they have a significant role to play in the
reduction of criminal cases in the country in order to aid mission in assessing
Malaysia

Other weaknesses:

● Poor communication within the department Not suitable in conflict condition like

during Lahad Datu conflict because PDRM function to recovery small conflict like
riot
● Have little skill than other forces
● More interaction with community so easily gets defamation like RASUAH
● Take long time to find alibi or clue to solve the case

OPPORTUNITIES

● In 1993, The Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation was formed. It is a

Malaysian non-profit governmental organization tasked to promote awareness
in crime prevention and rehabilitation of offenders at all times. In addition to
getting public participation in crime prevention efforts of the Government and
 other interested parties and NGOs. Malay: Yayasan Pencegahan Jenayah
Malaysia (MCPF) )

● Always consist with new technology or equipment to improve the strength of

PDRM

● Always take effective way to solve the problem

● Always get ready to any condition if government require the PDRM in the
condition

● Corruption
● Issues in member of PDRM give bad name for PDRM
● Many cases occur happen in same time and make community always attack
PDRM slow do the duties
● Many tactics of terrorist and new crime than make PDRM hard to solve the case

CONCLUSION

The Royal Malaysian Police, which is a component of Malaysia's security forces

organization, has a long history, strong moral principles, significant duties, and makes
significant contributions to the nation's peace, safety, and order. RMP fits into its main
categories and it consistently stands up for the needs of its clients and has the capacity
to use force when necessary. The goals and perspectives of RMP as a police force
direct and manage their whole functions, growth, and effectiveness from the range of
their top priorities. The police organization is also assisted by support clusters as well as
departments that are specialized particularly in field of security, management of the
entire force and overall police activities at all levels of police hierarchy in Malaysia to
maintain the good posture of the force in carrying out responsibilities. There are also
standards as with the RMP entry; mainly specified through different aspects regarding
requirements and other concerns.

Throughout the study, strengths and weaknesses of the PDRM have been noticed by
an analysis presented that also mentioned the opportunities and threats in the police
functions. This basically appears that RMP is constantly learning and providing options
to enable the force to be intact as with its commitment and general objectives to their
duty to maintain the firmness and offer more convenient in the field.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Having been in a country that is not Malaysia as well as encountering a police

organization far from what they have there, limits researchers from outside the said
country to relate or understand what type of organization in there is present. There are
several recommendations which have been thought to be significant for future research
regarding the Royal Malaysia Police. Our research has less contact with police force and
is limited to data which are accessible from the internet and the module. Thus, we only
pose brief data and general questions. Future research may just replicate this study and
put it into test for a larger amount of information. To answer a longer and more detailed
set of information, it is recommended that future study only take into account the
researchers who have had experience with the said police organization. The need to
have at least one contact with the police in the country is crucial as it will help achieve a
much solid coherence hence having more verified, accurate and reliable data. Finally,
future user of the data we have gathered, might want to independently research, add or
make questions for better analysis of the RMP concerning their overall functions and
effectivity in Malaysia.
