The Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) conducted crime prevention outreach efforts to travellers from both sides of the causeway on 28 January 2018. This joint effort by the SPF and the RMP serves to educate travellers from both countries on the latest crimes of concern and the preventive measures to take.
At the Woodlands Checkpoint, officers from the Jurong Police Division set up crime prevention booths and gave out crime prevention advisories to travellers from Malaysia, as well as Singaporeans travelling to and back from Malaysia. The advisories contain crime prevention measures for safeguarding themselves against common crimes such as online scams which they may encounter in Singapore, as well as raising awareness on the prohibited items which are not allowed into Singapore.
At the same time, officers from the RMP held a crime prevention event under their “High Profile Policing Programme” across the causeway at Johor Bahru Sentral. This programme aims to allow officers from the RMP to engage the local Johor community as well as travellers from Singapore, providing them with the latest crime prevention advisories.
Commander of Jurong Police Division, Assistant Commissioner of Police (AC) Koh Wei Keong, was present at the event at Johor Bahru Sentral, where Chief of Police, Johor, Datuk Mohd Khalil Bin Kader Mohd was the event's Guest-of-Honour.
AC Koh Wei Keong said, “The joint crime prevention effort demonstrates our close working relationship between the Singapore Police Force and Royal Malaysia Police. We will continue to work closely together to educate the public on safeguarding themselves from being victims of crime.”
