Putrajaya: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will remain committed to defending the nation’s security, even without recognition or praise, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain. He stated that the police force is always prepared to set aside personal interests and willing to put their lives on the line to safeguard the nation’s security and the people’s well-being.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Razarudin emphasized that all services rendered by the police are rooted in sincerity, integrity, loyalty, and the belief that every sacrifice will eventually be rewarded. His speech was delivered at the Putrajaya-level campaign’s launch to promote reading and book handover, with Bukit Aman Management Department director Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid reading his speech text.

Razarudin highlighted that PDRM, in its 218th year since its establishment, remains steadfast in fulfilling its role as the country’s primary law enforcement agency. During the ceremony, Prof. Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Abu Bakar, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Book Development Foundation, presented PDRM with a special book as a symbol of appreciation for its personnel.

The book compiles stories and photographs capturing the sacrifices of PDRM personnel, serving as a source of inspiration and reference for the public, particularly the younger generation. Razarudin noted that the book highlights narratives about unsung heroes, which could instil a spirit of patriotism and bolster people’s identity.

He further urged the public to read such books to understand the challenges behind the struggle to uphold the nation’s peace and independence. “Reading is a bridge to knowledge. Through reading, today’s youth will better understand the struggles and challenges faced by the nation’s heroes in the fight for independence and maintaining harmony,” he added.
