Fadhlina: Police presence in schools key to preventing crime, disciplinary issues
GEORGE TOWN: Police presence in schools is crucial to raising awareness and preventing disciplinary issues and crime before they occur, says Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek emphasizes the significance of police presence in schools to deter crime and disciplinary problems before they escalate. She advocates for proactive police engagement in schools through programs like Ops Didik, rather than merely responding to incidents. Fadhlina stresses that the presence of police in educational institutions is essential for early intervention and prevention of such issues.
This viewpoint was expressed in her recent social media post, where she also discussed the Whitening the Blackspot program successfully carried out by the Seberang Perai Selatan district police in Bukit Panchor. This initiative resulted in a crime-free environment in the previously notorious area since July. Fadhlina further conveyed residents' concerns about the increasing number of foreigners in certain areas, advocating for enhanced surveillance and enforcement measures.
