IGP: Police must treat seniors’ reprimands as lessons, not weakness

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail emphasized the importance of discipline and respect for senior officers among Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel to maintain the force's effectiveness and prestige.

Addressing concerns over the declining regard for senior officers, he urged personnel to adhere to the chain of command and view critiques as opportunities for growth.

Mohd Khalid also highlighted the need for constructive feedback and mutual respect within the force to foster cooperation.

Additionally, he announced that PDRM would celebrate Integrity Day on November 11, recognizing 35 officers who rejected bribes as exemplary figures.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail has reminded the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel to maintain discipline and respect for senior officers to preserve the force’s strength and harmony.

He said showing regard for senior officers appeared to be declining, raising concerns that this could weaken the police force and undermine its standing among other government departments and agencies.

“We know that observing the proper chain of command is essential. We must show respect to the seniors,” he said at the IGP’s monthly gathering organised by the Integrity and Standards Compliance Department at Bukit Aman here today.

Mohd Khalid also reminded members of the force to practise the discipline instilled during their training throughout their service, stressing that they should not regard being reprimanded by their officers as a negative experience, but instead take it as a lesson to improve themselves.

“Being corrected is not a wrongdoing in itself, but should serve as a lesson to help personnel recognise that a mistake has been made.

“We should not view being reprimanded as a sign of weakness…we should ensure the criticisms are constructive and help build character, enabling us to fulfill our duties and responsibilities with greater competence, discipline and integrity,” he said.

Mohd Khalid said police personnel should respect one another, accept feedback and different opinions, and recognise that they were not always right, adding that they should also remind one another of their responsibilities and respect senior officers to promote cooperation and solidarity within the force.

Meanwhile, Mohd Khalid said PDRM would celebrate Integrity Day on Nov 11 under the theme “Integriti dan Organisasi Bukan Pilihan Tetapi Kewajipan” (Integrity and Organisation: Not a Choice, but an Obligation).

He said the celebration would also honour 35 police personnel who had turned down bribes in the line of duty, recognising them as role models for their colleagues. — Bernama

马来西亚皇家警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔强调，马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）人员必须保持纪律，尊重高级警官，以维护警队的效能和声望。

针对高级军官受尊重程度下降的问题，他敦促官兵们遵守指挥链，并将批评视为成长的机会。

莫哈末·哈立德还强调，警队内部需要建设性的反馈和相互尊重，以促进合作。

此外，他还宣布马来西亚皇家警察将于11月11日庆祝诚信日，表彰35名拒绝贿赂的警官，称他们是模范人物。

吉隆坡，10月23日讯——马来西亚皇家警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔提醒马来西亚皇家警察人员要保持纪律，尊重高级警官，以维护警队的实力和和谐。

他表示，对高级警官的尊重似乎正在下降，这令人担忧，因为这可能会削弱警队，并损害其在其他政府部门和机构中的地位。

“我们知道遵守正确的指挥链至关重要。我们必须尊重上级，”他今天在武吉阿曼警察总部举行的由廉政与标准合规部门组织的警察总监月度会议上说。

莫哈末·哈立德还提醒警队成员，要在整个服役期间践行训练中培养的纪律，强调他们不应该把受到上级训斥视为负面经历，而应该将其视为提升自我的教训。

“被纠正本身并不是一件错事，而应该起到教训作用，帮助员工认识到自己犯了错误。

他说：“我们不应该把受到训诫视为软弱的表现……我们应该确保批评是建设性的，有助于塑造品格，使我们能够以更高的能力、纪律和正直来履行我们的职责。”

莫哈末·哈立德表示，警务人员应该互相尊重，接受反馈和不同的意见，并认识到自己并非总是正确的。他还补充说，他们也应该互相提醒自己的职责，尊重高级警官，以促进警队内部的合作与团结。

与此同时，莫哈末卡立表示，马来西亚皇家警察将于11月11日庆祝廉洁日，主题为“Integriti dan Organisasi Bukan Pilihan Tetapi Kewajipan”（廉正与组织：不是选择，而是义务）。
