'Shoot if in doubt, faced with obstruction or under threat' - KL police chief [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus reminded all personnel to stay alert to potential threats while carrying out their duties to maintain public safety and order.
Fadil said his personnel must be ready to respond decisively when faced with risks or threats on duty.
"My advice to all Kuala Lumpur policemen on the ground is to stay alert. I do not want an incident like the one in Gombak to happen to my personnel serving on the front lines.
"Draw your firearm, identify your target and be prepared.
