KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — City police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus has directed officers never to hesitate in drawing and discharging their service firearms against violent resistance, following a vicious machete attack on Wednesday that severed a policeman's hand.
Fadil stressed that frontline personnel must take immediate defensive action to protect their lives rather than risk suffering the same catastrophic harm.
"So, as I have said, you must always be ready. You must know how to draw your weapons: Ready, draw, fire.
"If there is any resistance, shoot. When in doubt, shoot. If there is concern or threat, shoot. Do not wait," Fadil said in an operational address shared online.
