Rookie cops fall under urban poor category, says Bukit Aman CID chief

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The family of a young Malaysian chef who was badly injured in a road accident in Singapore is raising funds to cover his hefty hospital bills, which have ballooned to S$125,000.

KUALA LUMPUR: With a starting salary of just RM1,441 per month, new police personnel fall under the B40 category, making them part of the urban poor community, says Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain.

"Their salary scale is in such a sad state. When they enter the force as a constable their salary is RM1,441. Plus allowances, it comes up to RM1,800. "Leaders and supervisors must find out and identify personnel who are experiencing such predicaments. If you can help, do so," he said in a video shown to CID chiefs nationwide at Universiti Sains Malaysia recently.

"Someone came to see me saying he had to reject a promotion because his wife is paralysed and his two children are also diagnosed with cerebral palsy."Despite being paralysed from the waist down, his wife still cooks nasi lemak for him to sell at the office while his allowance is used to cover the family's medical costs," he added.
