About

The Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) is the primary law enforcement agency in Malaysia, responsible for maintaining law and order, investigating crimes, and ensuring public safety. Recent news highlights several aspects of the RMP's activities. They are currently investigating a case of domestic violence in Melaka, where a man attacked his pregnant wife. The RMP is also under scrutiny for allegedly using a harsh criminal law provision to silence government critics, raising concerns about freedom of speech. In another case, the RMP cooperated with the FBI in the extradition of a Bangladeshi man wanted in the US for child pornography charges, demonstrating international collaboration. Furthermore, the RMP participated in a joint operation with the Sabah Wildlife Department, raiding a resort involved in the illegal sale of pangolin meat, showcasing their role in environmental protection and wildlife crime enforcement. These events illustrate the RMP's diverse responsibilities and their involvement in various legal and social issues within Malaysia and internationally.
