TUMPAT:
Kelantan police have opened investigation papers against three policemen suspected of visiting an entertainment outlet in Golok, Thailand, as well as involvement in drug abuse.

Kelantan police chief Yusoff Mamat said they are conducting investigations into the cases in a transparent manner.

He added that police will not compromise on the matter and will monitor all personnel under their supervision.

“Since I reported for duty in Kelantan, I have told every one of them to be mindful of their discipline.

“I am serious when it comes to discipline, more so when it involves drug abuse among my personnel,” he told reporters after accompanying Kelantan menteri besar Nassuruddin Daud to visit the temporary relief centre at SMK Tumpat here today.

Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said three policemen were believed to be involved in misconduct for visiting entertainment outlets in Golok.

The policemen, aged between 26 and 32 and holding the ranks of sergeant major, corporal and lance corporal, are under investigation by the integrity and standards compliance department.

On Nov 10, Kelantan police received several images and videos showing officers suspected to be socialising at an entertainment outlet in Golok. They are also believed to have connections with illegal moneylenders.
