Royal Malaysia Police

The Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) is the national police force of Malaysia. Recent news highlights their involvement in several significant and controversial cases. They are currently under scrutiny for allegedly using criminal law provisions to silence government critics, following investigations into activists, academics, and researchers accused of plotting to topple the government. The RMP also collaborated with the FBI in the extradition of a Bangladeshi man facing child pornography charges in the US, after he spent years on bail in Malaysia. Furthermore, the police participated in "Ops Khazanah," a crackdown on wildlife crimes, leading to the raid of a resort offering pangolin meat, demonstrating their role in enforcing environmental protection laws. These events underscore the RMP's diverse responsibilities and the controversies surrounding their actions.
