KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has condemned the attack on a policeman who was seriously injured in a parang assault at an apartment in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong, yesterday.

In a Facebook post today, Anwar wished the injured officer a speedy recovery and said violence against enforcement personnel carrying out their duties to protect public safety was unacceptable.

"Firm action must be taken against all criminal acts, regardless of who is responsible, to uphold the rule of law and ensure the safety of enforcement personnel on duty," he said.

The 26-year-old Lance Corporal, whose right wrist was severed in the attack, is undergoing surgery at Hospital Kuala Lumpur in an attempt to reattach the limb.
