  "account": "The Police Air Operations Force (PGU) in Subang relies on more than just its pilots for success, emphasizing the importance of a team approach. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail highlighted that while rank and position define authority, mutual respect and camaraderie must bridge hierarchical differences. He urged officers and personnel at all levels to put aside personal interests and cultivate a culture of cooperation, teamwork, and mutual support.\n\nKhalid stressed that teamwork should be an integral part of the work culture and daily practices, stating that mission success depends on coordinated efforts, trust, effective communication, and a shared commitment. He officiated the Jelajah Wira Madani programme held alongside the PGU Family Day 2026. He emphasized family support as a crucial source of emotional strength and motivation for PGU personnel, enabling them to perform duties effectively while maintaining readiness and discipline. The support of family members provides the emotional fortitude that drives personnel toward excellence.\n\nThe programme serves as a vital platform for human capital development, helping personnel balance professional demands with family well-being. Khalid concluded by encouraging personnel to return from the programme with renewed enthusiasm, stronger bonds, and a greater determination to excel in their duties for the force and the nation.",
