NKRA of reducing crime enters second phase, needs private sector cooperation

JOHOR BAHARU, June 25 (Bernama) -- The National Key Result Area (NKRA) of reducing crime rates in the country has entered phase two of its implementation, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.
One of the challenges faced in implementing this NKRA, he said, was to gain more cooperation and participation from the private sector in the transformation programme undertaken.
Therefore, he urged all quarters including the private sector to come forward to help strengthen the programme that was introduced under the Government Transformation Programme.
"We have entered phase two and have gone this far. We cannot turn back but to move and look ahead."
Hishammuddin said this to reporters after watching a demonstration on the Integrated Response System, a project worth RM95 million to reduce crime rates in the country, at the state police contingent headquarters, here, today.
The interactive system provides police with access to the monitoring CCTV recordings to enable information to be relayed to policemen on duty through a control centre in combating and reducing crime.
The four-minute demonstration showed that a robbery victim could make an emergency call giving basic details to the police who could immediately view the scene through the CCTV system and detect the criminals during real time.
Hishammuddin hoped to get feedback from the parties involved such as the emergency call centre, CCTV operators and the local authorities in three weeks' time so that coordination between police and them could be further improved.
"I also want the public to be more rationale and not emotional as foreign agencies have recognised that Malaysia's crime rates have dropped over the last few years," he said.
