10pm gate closure: Police services to carry on as usual, says IGP

The police will carry on providing services as usual even though police stations in the country have been instructed to close their gates after 10pm.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the public could lodge complaints and reports as usual, and that the instruction to all police stations will be implemented after the standard operating procedure regarding the matter has been presented to Bukit Aman Management Department director Datuk Seri Azmi Kassim.
He said that, as stressed by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the police should balance the role of the police station as a place where the public lodges reports and to ensure the safety of the personnel on duty.
He added that the implementation of the 10pm closure currently involved police stations in remote or rural areas.
During a question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, Saifuddin said the Home Ministry had instructed that gates of police stations in the country be closed after 10pm as a security measure following the attack on the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor.

There must be better thinking about 10 pm gate closure. If police station is unsafe after 10 pm, where to seek help.
