KL police propose KK Mart stores as safety points to boost crime prevention

The Kuala Lumpur Police, led by Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus, propose collaborating with KK Mart to designate their 24-hour convenience stores as Go-To-Safety-Point locations, enhancing public safety by utilizing the stores' centralized CCTV systems.

With approximately 700 branches being considered in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, this initiative aims to provide the public with safe locations to seek assistance during emergencies.

The proposal also includes the possibility of granting the police access to store CCTV systems to bolster security monitoring.

This collaboration aligns with the Royal Malaysia Police's broader GTSP program, aiming to establish a network of strategic safety points for immediate public assistance.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 — The Kuala Lumpur Police propose making KK Mart convenience stores as Go-To-Safety-Point (GTSP) locations through a strategic collaboration with the company to strengthen crime monitoring and prevention efforts in the capital.

Its chief, Datuk Fadil Marsus said his team has identified around 700 KK Mart branches in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor that operate 24 hours, have bright lighting, and are equipped with centralised closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, which have the potential to be safe locations for the public to seek assistance during emergencies.

“We see that KK Mart can be made a safety point for the surrounding community. At the same time, we will enhance cooperation in terms of patrolling and monitoring so that these premises become safe places for the public,” he said.

He said this to reporters at the press conference for the opening of the KK Mart branch at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent headquarters (IPK) today, which was also attended by KK Supermart & Superstore Sdn Bhd founder and executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Chai Kee Kan.

Fadil said that they are also looking into the possibility of being granted access to the centralised CCTV of the convenience store chain, which simultaneously strengthens security monitoring in the surrounding area.

According to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the GTSP programme is an initiative that creates a network of strategic partner premises as safety points for the public to obtain immediate assistance in the event of an emergency, a crime, or a security threat.

Meanwhile, Fadil said that the KK Mart branch at the Kuala Lumpur IPK is the first convenience store branch in the PDRM building. and there may be more opened in PDRM buildings that will benefit the police personnel and the local community.

Commenting on the control of goods sold at the KK Mart premises in the Kuala Lumpur IPK, he said that the business operations are subject to government premises regulations, and any prohibited goods will not be allowed for sale.

Meanwhile, Chai said that there are currently around 1,100 KK Mart branches nationwide, and he sees great potential to place the convenience store in government buildings.

He also welcomed KK Mart’s initiative as a GTSP and was willing to share CCTV footage from the convenience store chain to assist PDRM investigations. —Bernama

吉隆坡警方在总警监拿督法迪尔·马苏斯的带领下，提议与KK Mart合作，将其24小时便利店指定为安全避难点，利用商店的中央闭路电视系统来加强公共安全。

该计划拟在吉隆坡和雪兰莪设立约 700 个分支机构，旨在为公众在紧急情况下提供寻求帮助的安全场所。

该提案还包括允许警方访问商店闭路电视系统以加强安全监控的可能性。

此次合作与马来西亚皇家警察更广泛的全球安全援助计划 (GTSP) 相一致，旨在建立一个战略安全点网络，以便为公众提供即时援助。

吉隆坡，9 月 15 日讯——吉隆坡警方提议与 KK Mart 便利店开展战略合作，将 KK Mart 便利店打造为“安全点”（Go-To-Safe-Point，简称 GTSP），以加强首都的犯罪监控和预防工作。

其负责人拿督法迪尔·马苏斯表示，他的团队已确定吉隆坡和雪兰莪约有 700 家 KK Mart 分店 24 小时营业，照明充足，并配备了中央闭路电视 (CCTV) 系统，这些分店有可能成为公众在紧急情况下寻求帮助的安全场所。

“我们认为KK超市可以成为周边社区的安全点。同时，我们将加强巡逻和监控方面的合作，使这些场所成为公众的安全场所，”他说道。

今天，他在吉隆坡警察总部 (IPK) 举行的 KK Mart 分店开业新闻发布会上对记者们说了这番话。KK Supermart & Superstore Sdn Bhd 的创始人兼执行主席拿督斯里蔡继根博士也出席了发布会。

法迪尔表示，他们还在研究能否获得便利店连锁店中央监控系统的访问权限，这将同时加强周边地区的安全监控。

根据马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）的说法，全球安全伙伴计划（GTSP）是一项旨在建立战略合作伙伴场所网络的举措，这些场所将作为安全点，供公众在发生紧急情况、犯罪或安全威胁时获得即时援助。

与此同时，法迪尔表示，位于吉隆坡警察总部大楼的KK Mart分店是马来西亚皇家警察大楼内的第一家便利店分店，未来可能会在皇家警察大楼内开设更多分店，这将使警务人员和当地社区受益。

针对吉隆坡IPK的KK Mart场所内销售商品的管制问题，他表示，该商业运营须遵守政府场所法规​​，任何违禁商品均不得销售。

与此同时，柴先生表示，目前KK Mart在全国约有1100家分店，他认为在政府大楼开设便利店具有巨大的潜力。

他还对KK Mart作为全球安全合作伙伴的举措表示欢迎，并愿意分享该便利店连锁的监控录像，以协助马来西亚皇家警察的调查。——马新社
