Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Fadil Marsus instructed patrol units, motorcycle squads, and detectives to stay ready, draw and cock their weapons, and fire without hesitation if they encounter obstructions, doubt, or threats.

He said frontline personnel must stay alert and protect their lives when confronting violent resistance.

The directive followed an incident on Wednesday (11 Nov) at a residential flat in Desa Aman Puri, Kepong.

A multi-agency team comprising police, Fire and Rescue Department responders, and Health Ministry staff responded to a report regarding an aggressive foreign national.
