PETALING JAYA:
A total of 59 police personnel have been dismissed in the first five months of 2025 for disciplinary reasons, mostly linked to drug-related offences.

The director of Bukit Aman’s integrity and compliance department, Azri Ahmad, said other dismissed personnel were involved in integrity violations, criminal offences, corruption, and shariah-related misconduct.

He said the statistics include offences investigated or committed before 2025, Bernama reported.

A total of 146 others were suspended from duty between January and May, during which the department received 2,637 complaints and reports concerning police misconduct.

“I want to thank the public for their cooperation. Based on these statistics, the police assure the public that any officer found guilty of wrongdoing, be it misconduct or criminal activity, will face firm disciplinary action without compromise,” he said.

Azri also said the newly launched Aduan JIPS mobile app, introduced on June 4, has received more than 20 complaints. He assured whistleblowers that their identities are fully protected.
