ROYAL MALAYSIAN POLICE (PDRM) TO BUY 4.000 MOTORCYCLES
Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, in an interview with editor of The Star Datuk Wong Chun Wai on Sunday (3rd of February 2008) stated that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) would be buying 4,000 motorcycles and 3,000 cars.
On the governments part, we have allocated RM8 billion under the 9th Malaysia Plan which includes the purchase of high technology integrated communication system.
For the new police stations, we want to install CCTVs inside lockups and CCTVs would also be installed at streets and public places by local councils.
In addition, over 3,000 patrol cars and 4,000 motorcycles have been purchased.
The government has also approved the recruitment of 60,000 police personnel over the next five years., said Mr. Badawi.
The full interview can be viewed at The Star Online.
Does this mean we will see more Honda ST1300Ps and Honda VFR800s on Malaysian roads soon?
It isnt clear yet if PDRM has already bought all of the 4,000 bikes earmarked to be purchased.
