Kuala lumpur: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has initiated a disciplinary investigation into one of its personnel following a viral video that allegedly shows the officer insulting local residents during a trip to China. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail confirmed that the officer in question remains on active duty while the investigation is ongoing.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mohd Khalid urged the public to remain calm, assuring that the PDRM would conduct a comprehensive investigation. He stated that if any breaches of law are determined, appropriate actions will be taken alongside disciplinary measures. He emphasized the importance of maintaining proper conduct for all police officers and personnel, irrespective of their location or whether they are in uniform.
The incident has drawn significant attention, both locally and internationally, due to the officer's dual role as a social media influencer. The controversy escalated after she was accused of making inappropriate remarks while covering her nose in a public space in China.
Earlier in the day, Mohd Khalid officiated the 42nd Annual General Meeting of the Retired Senior Police Officers Association of Malaysia (RESPA) at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training College. During the event, he addressed the welfare of police retirees and expressed hope for a government review of the warrior's allowance rate to support former security personnel amid rising living costs. He also highlighted concerns raised by RESPA President Datuk Meor Chek Hussein Mahayuddin regarding the allowance rates for Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa (SP) and Pingat Gagah Berani (PGB) recipients, which have not been updated since 2009.
