KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — Safety issues in schools should not be concealed to protect reputations, as this may prevent authorities from taking action, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail.
He said cooperation between the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and schools should be strengthened to ensure all incidents are reported for further action.
“Sometimes there are actions by certain parties attempting to hide issues to protect their reputation. But I believe if we enhance and strengthen this relationship, it can help resolve the problems,” he told a press conference after the launch of the PDRM Negotiator Handbook at the Bukit Aman Senior Officers' Mess here today.
Mohd Khalid said school safety is a shared responsibility requiring cooperation among PDRM, schools, the Ministry of Education, and parents. School liaison officers also regularly visit and coordinate with school authorities on safety issues.
