The group headed by Siti Kasim then handed over all the chocolates to Sri Hartamas Fire and Rescue personnel at the station next door.

Siti Kasim organised a campaign called “Jom Bagi Coklat Kat Abang dan Akak Polis” (Let’s give chocolates to our brothers and sisters in the police force) via her Facebook page, starting from 4pm to 5pm today, to get Malaysians to donate chocolates as a token of appreciation to  all police personnel across the country.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said Kuala Lumpur police thanked the public for giving chocolates as a token of appreciation to the police today.

“However, police cannot accept it because there are certain standard operating procedures that must be complied with,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today.

Checks by Bernama on the Facebook page created by Siti Kasim found many netizens claiming the chocolate gift to police officers and personnel in other areas were also declined.
