History
Main article: History of the Royal Malaysian Police

The Royal Malaysia Police headquarters at Bukit Aman in Kuala Lumpur.

A police force has been in existence in Malaysia since the days of the Malacca Sultanate.
Malacca's canonical law created what was essentially a police force in Malaysia in the fifteenth
century, through the institution of the Temenggung and Hulubalang, or royal warriors. During the
Sultan of Malacca's absence, the Bendahara, or Prime Minister, held absolute authority, with the
power to hand out sentences, but it was the Temenggung who acted as the Police Chief or
Inspector General of Police. His tasks were to arrest criminals, build jails and implement
sentences. Apart from the Temenggung, there were a number of Penghulu or village chiefs who
had the duty of policing their respective villages. Their main tasks included tax collection, law
enforcement and preserving village security. These Malacca police systems ended when, on 10
August 1511, a Portuguese fleet led by Afonso de Albuquerque claimed Malacca for the
Portuguese crown. Police duties were then largely performed by the Portuguese soldiers.
During the sixteenth century, Malaysia became a cosmopolitan society and the Portuguese
government introduced the Kapitan administration. On 14 January 1641, however, the
Portuguese lost Malacca to the Dutch Empire, when the Dutch invaded with the help of soldiers
from Johor state, at a time when the Portuguese were at war with the Sultanate of Acheh. The
Dutch retained the Kapitan system, but when the growing number of Europeans in Malaysia
made change necessary, a police force known as the 'Burgher Guard' was established. The
Burgher Guard was controlled by the Dutch, but their subordinates were made up of the local
citizens. Village leaders continued to assume the duties of policemen under Dutch rule, as they
had since before the Portuguese arrived.
Following the assimilation of Malacca into the British Empire in 1795, a modern police
organisation in Malaysia was formed, on 25 March 1807, after the Charter of Justice in Penang
was granted. Most of the officers were of British origin. Later, this organisation was developed in
the Straits Settlements and other Malay states, particularly the Federated Malay States. At that
time, independent police forces were established for each respective state. Only after World War

II was a central police organisation formed, known as the Civil Affairs Police Force. This
organisation was formed in Malaya and led by a British colonial, H.B. Longworthy, who had to
stabilise the police forces after the anarchy of Japanese occupation. One of the immediate
problems faced by the police at this time was the rebellion of the communist party. During the
confrontation between Malaysia and Indonesia, which lasted from 1963 to 1965, the police force,
along with military forces, fought against the infiltration of Indonesian forces into the states of
Johor and Sabah.
Almost a year after Independence Day, on 24 July 1958, the King of Malaysia, Tuanku Abdul
Rahman Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhamad, bestowed the title Royal to the Malayan Federations
Police Force. In 1963, the Royal Federation of Malayan Police (RFMP), the North Borneo
Armed Constabulary and the Sarawak Constabulary were merged to form the Royal Malaysia
Police. The Singapore Police Force became a component unit of the RMP until Singapore's
independence in 1965.

Insignia

The flag and insignia of the Royal Malaysia Police has a blue coloured background which
symbolises the Malaysian masses. In the centre of the flag is the PDRM symbol within silver or
white coloured. The police symbol is made up of an intersected Kris and Ilang / Klewang
machete. Above of the PDRM symbol, there is a tiger head garlaned by "Paddy Garland" and
under it, is "Polis Diraja Malaysia" scroll with the word. Arabic lettering in the Crown includes
the words Allah on the right and Muhammad on the left.

Moon and star

The Moon and Star symbolise Islam as the official religion of Malaysia.

Crown
The crown, depicted on the Royal Malaysia Police insignia, is a panegyric reference to the King
of Malaysia, bestowing the "Royal" title to its name. The words Allah and Muhammad in
Arabic, which respectively symbolise Allah the Almighty and Muhammad as the follower,
signifies Islam as the official religion and faith of RMP personnel, who are willing to uphold
justice and the security of the people of Malaysia.

Kris and the Ilang Sword

The Kris is an important symbol of the Malay Peninsula. This particular weapon was used by
Malay warriors in the past. According to Frey (2003), who concluded from Sir Stamford Raffles'
(1817) study of the Candi Sukuh, the kris came into existence around AD 1361. Others believe
that early forms were inspired by the daggers of the Dong-Son in Vietnam (circa 300 BC). In the
temples of Borobudur (825 CE) and Prambanan (850CE), renderings of the Kris have been
found.
The traditional machete, Ilang or Klewang is a symbolises to the states of Sarawak and Sabah in
the East Malaysia and it represents the spirit of heroism of a multitude of ethnic tribes such as the
Dayak, the Dusun, the Bajau, and the Kadazan.

Tiger head
The tiger head symbolises courage, strength and spirits of RMP. Previously, RMP used a lion
head as the symbol of courage from 16 September 1963, after the formation of Malaysia, until 15
May 1994, when it was replaced with the tiger head by an official order of Malaysian
government. The former lion head also symbolised the states of Singapore (until 1965) and
Sabah.

Paddy flower
Paddy flower is a reference to paddy and rice, the staple food for Malaysians and it signifies
national prosperity.

Motto
The RMP motto represents team spirit and determination.

Sang Saka Biru

The PDRM flag is called the Blue Perennial or Sang Saka Biru; each colour has its own
distinctive meaning and the flag symbolises the force's pride and integrity.

General Operations Force
Main article: General Operations Force

Members of the Senoi Praaq in 1953

The Police Field Force (PFF) organised in battalions, was once the para-military units of the
Royal Malaysia Police. The force, which was also known as the Jungle Squad (Pasukan Polis
Hutan (PPH) in Malay) was tasked to operate in the jungle fringes in counter-insurgency roles
during the Malayan Emergency, IndonesiaMalaysia confrontations and later Communist
guerrilla insurgencies along the Malaysian-Thai border and in the jungles of Sabah and Sarawak.
When the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) and Clandestine Communist Organisation (CCO)
finally gave up their armed struggle in 1989 and 1990, PFF lost its role. It was reorganised as the
General Operations Force (GOF). The GOF has 19 battalions and the 19th Special Battalion is
tasked to provide VIP security.
When established in the year 1948, the PFF had 19 battalions of which two battalions were made
up of indigenous people. These battalions were known as Senoi Praaq Battalions. One battalion
was a Special Security Battalion.

former times.
The 19 battalions are organised into 5 brigades, each headed by a Superintendent of Police. The
North Brigade and Sabah Brigade have 4 battalions each, the Central Brigade has 5 battalions,
and South-East Brigade and Sarawak Brigade have 3 battalions each.
It all began in the year 1948, when Malayan Communist Party murdered 3 European farmers at
Sungai Siput, Perak and also murdered the 3 leaders of Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist
Party).Sir Edward Gent declared an emergency on 7 July 1948 in all Malaya Federations, starting
with Perak on 16 June 1948 and Johore on 19 June 1948. To deal with rebellion and to hunt
down the Communist terrorists in the jungle, a military based team was formed in 1948 and it
was named the Flying Squad and later renamed as Jungle Squad, with their main mission to fight
against the Communists. The first Jungle Squad unit was established at Sik, Kedah in 1949.
Training centres were opened in Sungai Buluh, Selangor and in Dusun Tua, Hulu Langat,

Selangor which was known as Field Force Special Training Centre (SLPPH). In 1964, SLPPH
was transferred to Kroh, Perak then changed to Kentonmen, Ulu Kinta, Perak. After being
renamed the General Operations Force or Pasukan Gerakan Am in 1997, SLPPH is now known
as Sekolah Latihan Pasukan Gerakan Am (General Operations Force Training Centre, SLPGA).
So far, there are two Senoi Praaq battalions specialising in search and rescue operations. After
VAT 69 was absorbed into Pasukan Gerakan Khas, along with anti-terrorist police force and
Special Action Unit (UTK Unit Tindakan Khas), a special platoon of PGA, Tiger Platoon was
established.
Police Counter-Terrorism Unit
When the seeming threat of global terrorism started to increase after the incident of 11
September in United States, followed up by several series of bombings in Bali and Jakarta,
Indonesia and in Malaysia, the RMP has formed 2 anti-terrorism corps. These two elite forces are
known as Pasukan Gerakan Khas (PGK) and Unit Gempur Marin (UNGERIN).
Pasukan Gerakan Khas

Pasukan Gerakan Khas is a major elite force in the Royal Malaysia Police, which is composed of
VAT 69 and Special Actions Unit (UTK). This team was first merged in 1997 and became known
as the Maroon Berets. However, this integration did not last and in 2003 it was separated. The
VAT 69 changed to the Sandy Brown Berets, honoured by British 22nd Special Air Service
(SAS). However, both units serve under the Pasukan Gerakan Khas and is under the command of
a Senior Assistant Commissioner II.
This special counter-terrorism police team is also involved in some operations within Malaysia,
including military operations with Malaysian Army 22nd Commando Regiment Grup Gerak
Khas against the Al-Ma'unah organisation formed in Bukit Jenalik, Sauk, Perak. This team also
served under the United Nations in Timor Leste and in the search and rescue operation of 700
officers and members of Indonesian National Police BRIMOB (Brigade Mobil) that were lost
and trapped during the tsunami incident in Aceh, Indonesia at the end of 2005. This team also
cooperated with Criminal Investigation Division to fight against dangerous crimes, among where

the PGK successfully tracked down the notorious 'Gang M16' which comprised several ethnic
Chinese criminals, including the group leader who was an ex-serviceman of Singapore, and the
leader Gang 13 (Mat Komando), as well as other operations. The motto of VAT 69 is WARISAN
DARAH PERWIRA (Literal meaning: INHERITANCE OF THE BLOOD OF WARRIORS), while
for the UTK it is TANGKAS BANTERAS GANAS (Literal meaning: QUICK TO OVERCOME
TERROR).

Unit Gempur Marin (UNGERIN) (Marine Combat Unit) was established in 2006 and it was fully
operational by the end of 2007 with the first name as the Unit Selam Tempur due to the pressing
need to suppress the pirate attacks alongside the coastal area of Malacca Straits and open sea area
of South China Sea which were continuously widespread from time to time despite various
efforts done to overcome the problem. The members received special training from the United
States after realising the need to form a special unit to secure the national waters and riverine
fronts from any untoward incidents. This unit is placed under formation Marine Police Branch
which is based in the Marine Police Base at Kampung Aceh, Sitiawan, Perak and Lahad Datu,
Sabah. It has a big role in handling threats from pirates, robbery, kidnapping and hijacking of

armed with special weaponry, such as Glock 19, MP5-Navy and Colt M4A1 (possibly supported
by the United States) and utilise maritime anti-terrorist tactics employed by the units of United
States Navy commandos. For the unit's restructuring, the name of UST was changed to Unit
Gempur Marin or UNGERIN in the year 2008.[1] Its eventual goal is to have 200 operators on
standby with UNGERIN.[2]

In the first phase, the 30-personnel strong special force is to undergo training in Langkawi and
Kota Kinabalu, by instructors from Navy SEALs. Besides the basic diving training, they will be
trained with other basic training, including tactical warfares, marksmanship, sniping, bomb

Major cases and incidents

Shooting of Aminulrasyid Amzah
A schoolboy, Aminulrasyid Amzah, was shot dead by police after allegedly trying to escape from
a car accident which he was involved in. Aminulrasyid was driving his sister's car without a valid
driver's licence after midnight on 3 May 2010, together with his friend, Azamuddin, who was the
passenger. He had been trying to flee a number of motorcyclists who were chasing both boys
after their vehicle had sideswiped a car earlier that night. After Aminulrasyid was shot, his friend
Azamuddin was assaulted and beaten by the police but managed to escape. The IGP and the
police have made many statements to the press saying that Aminulrasyid was trying to ram a
police roadblock as well as carrying a weapon in the car. Azamuddin and Aminulrasyid's family
has refuted many of the police claims. Many members of the public and the opposing politicians
have criticised the police's response, alluding to the fact that the police are trying to cover up the
incident and fabricate evidence. The boy's family has rejected calls for an inquest into the
shooting because they did not believe they would receive a fair and transparent investigation,
especially from the police. Instead, they have called on the government to establish a royal
commission of inquiry to investigate Aminulrasyid's death. A special eight-member panel has

been formed to scrutinise the investigation of the shooting; however, opposing politicians and the
boy's family have derided the formation of the panel as a publicity stunt by the government.[7][8][9]

Recaptured Mas Selamat Kastari

The escaped terrorist, Mas Selamat bin Kastari, who escaped detention in Singapore in 2008,
was nabbed by Bukit Aman and Johore Police while he was asleep in a secluded village house in
Skudai, 25 kilometres (16 mi) northwest of Johor Bahru, Johore.[10][11] He found a traditional
kampung house on stilts in Kampung Tawakal, a tiny village with a population of less than 100.
Located about 10 km away from the North-South Expressway near the Kempas exit, it is almost
impossible to locate for those not familiar with the area. The Singaporean terrorist, who captured
world attention when he escaped from the republic's maximum security Whitley Detention
Centre in February last year, could barely put up a fight in his shorts and T-shirt when caught
during a dawn raid in April. At 6 am, about 30 armed policemen surrounded the kampung house
and ordered Mas Selamat to come out. Police broke through two doors and rushed in when he
refused to surrender.[12] He was arrested together with two others, Abdul Matin and Johar Hassan,
by a PGK and police Special Branch officers following intelligence sharing with the police
forces of Indonesia and Singapore. Police also seized documents and other paraphernalia that
allegedly revealed their planned operation.[13] This report was later confirmed by both the
Singapore and Malaysian governments, with the date of capture given as 1 April 2009.[14]
The Home Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, and Inspector-General of
Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan at Putrajaya confirmed Mas Selamat was arrested and detained
under the Internal Security Act.[15] Hishammuddin declined to give details since the case is
sensitive as it involves intelligence agencies of Singapore and Indonesia, as well as Malaysia.[15]
Musa said the arrest was made possible as police in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia had been
sharing intelligence reports over the past year. It is learnt that Special Branch officers had been
working on various leads since March and upon confirming his whereabouts planned the dawn
raid that resulted in his arrest.[16][17]

Al-Mau'nah Arms Heist

In the early morning on 2 July 2000, 21 members of the militant group visited the outpost and
camp of Bn 304 Rejimen Askar Wataniah under the guise of a surprise inspection and
confiscated the soldiers' weapons and carted the weapons away from the armoury. They took
away a huge cache of firearms and ammunition, including 97 M16 assault rifles, four GPMGs,
five grenade launchers, 9,095 rounds of 5.56 mm and 60 rounds of 40 mm ammunition. The
group was later cornered in the village of Sauk, Perak and involved in a stand-off with the
Malaysian Army and Royal Malaysian Police forces. The Malaysian Special Forces threw a
containment cordon around Bukit Jenalik. Tpr Matthew anak Medan from 21 Commando was
murdered by this militant group and was awarded Pahlawan Gagah Berani.[18] The leader and
militant group surrendered to the Malaysian Special Forces and later they were handed over to
the police.[19]
The Al-Mau'nah group later surrendered, and the leaders were brought to trial for "waging war
upon the King". Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali and his group were brought to trial for

charges of "waging war against the King" and became the first group of people convicted of such
charges in Malaysia. Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali and his two lieutenants, Zahit Muslim
and Jamaluddin Darus, were sentenced to death. Sixteen others were given life sentences. Police
Detective Korporal Sanghadevan was murdered during the incident.[20][21] Asisten Superintendan
Polis Abdul Razak Mohd. Yusof was awarded the Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa for his role in
resolving the stand-off.

Memali Incident
The Memali Incident occurred in the remote village of Memali, Baling in the Malaysian state of
Kedah on 19 November 1985. A task force of 200 policemen under orders from the Acting Prime
Minister and Home Minister Musa Hitam, laid siege to kampung (village) houses in Memali. The
houses were occupied by an Islamic sect of about 400 people led by Ibrahim Mahmud a.k.a.
Ibrahim Libya.[22]

Bukit Kepong Incident

The Bukit Kepong Incident was an armed encounter which took place on 23 February 1950
between the police and the Malayan Communists during pre-independence Malaya. This conflict
took place in an area surrounding the Bukit Kepong police station in Bukit Kepong, a wooden
station located on the banks of the Muar River, about 59 km from Muar town, Johor.

Wanted lists and rewards

The neutrality of this article is disputed. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk
page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (January 2009)
Although the Wanted Lists are already in existence, there is a public feeling that they could be
used more extensively to both solve and deter crimes. Apart from being placed more prominently
both inside and outside of the police stations, they could be placed in all post offices, local and
long-distance bus terminuses, taxi terminuses, airport waiting lounges, outside public lavatories,
government and private hospitals and clinics, government and private schools, public park
entrances, shopping malls, public phone kiosks, etc. These should be updated at least on a
quarterly basis. Special Wanted Lists with greater details than those on posters could be given to
bus drivers and conductors, bus ticket sales counter staff, retail travel agents, toll booth staff,
domestic airline cabin crew, supermarket checkout staff, petrol station staff, hotel and restaurant
staff, canteen drinks stall staff, shopping mall reception and security staff, public attraction staff,
private security firm staff, etc. who could act as additional eyes and ears for the police. Larger
financial incentives should be advertised as being offered to those helping police with their
investigations.

Complaints Commission
Non-governmental organisations continued to press the government to create an Independent
Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC). In 2005 a Royal Commission of
Inquiry into the police had recommended a wide range of reforms, including the establishment of
an IPCMC by May 2006.[25] Draft legislation to establish an IPCMC remained under
consideration by the Attorney General at the end of the year. A range of other reform
recommendations, including repeal or review of laws allowing for detention without trial or
requiring police permits for public assemblies, were not implemented.
