Kami jaga keamanan, bukan berpihak, kata polis N Sembilan

Policemen in Negeri Sembilan stressed the importance of public calm and respect for ongoing legal processes. (Picture Bernama) In Kuala Lumpur, the state police chief Alzafny Ahmad urged the public to remain steadfast and uphold legal procedures, emphasizing that his force's actions were aimed at ensuring safety. The chief stated that his officers were not taking sides in the ongoing political turmoil and were respecting the constitutional, legislative, and institutional processes.

"The deployment of officers at various locations, including the Royal Gallery Tuanku Ja'afar, Sungei Ujong District Court, and the State Administration Building, is being carried out to maintain public security," he said in a statement. However, the police are monitoring access to the State Administration Building following an announcement from the State Palace that the appointment of State Council members has been canceled.

This measure is solely to ensure safety and maintain order, he added. The police are regularly conducting security assessments, managing premises' needs, and preventing any disruption to public safety. The chief stressed that these actions should not be interpreted as the police taking sides or endorsing any party in the matter still under constitutional and legislative processes.

He also urged the public to remain calm, respect ongoing legal procedures, and refrain from disseminating unverified information to avoid confusion or panic.
