KOTA KINABALU: The call to appoint a Sabahan as the next state commissioner of police has received the support of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).
Its Youth chief Christopher Mandut said the proposal warranted attention, adding that senior police officers coming from Sabah would have a better understanding of the situation, crime trends and issues in their home state.
“We do not mean to interfere in the police’s internal affairs but in order to strengthen the spirit of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 , there is no reason why Sabahans cannot be appointed as a police commissioner in their home state. He added that the appointment of Sabahans to high positions in the state was also in line with the struggles of PBS president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili when he held the position of Minister in the Prime Minister's Department to implement the Borneonisation policy.
Mohd Zaki was also quoted as saying in a local news portal that there were two Sabahans in the Royal Malaysia Police who hold the rank of deputy commissioner presently.
