By The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has unveiled their new media centre and online social network Facebook account at Bukit Aman.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein who launched the media centre said as law enforcers, communication between the police, media and public must always be cordial and prompt.

The RM200,000 media centre is equipped with high speed broadband computers for quick access to the Internet and response to queries.

The official Facebook account called Polis Diraja Malaysia will be used as an alternative platform for the police to disseminate information to members of the public.

The media centre is led by the federal police public relations department deputy head DSP Lai Lee Ching.

Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Omar Ismail is hopeful the launch of the media centre would be a fresh start between the media and the police.

The centre was an action taken by the police to show its sincerity in being transparent and committed to the “People First, Performance Now” maxim of 1Malaysia.
