KUCHING: The Sarawak Police Contingent Headquarters’ (IPK) pavilion and covered open hall were inaugurated by outgoing Police Commissioner Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri on today (Nov 9).
Both facilities, with a combined value of RM496,849, were funded by the Sarawak government.
In his speech, Comm Mohd Azman expressed his gratitude to Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and the state government for their invaluable contribution.
He added that the contingent has conducted various programme with these facilities, including the state-level National Month and Flying of Jalur Gemilang Flag celebration, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) Healthy Lifestyle programme and others.
“Therefore, I hope that the contingent will diligently maintain and care for these new facilities, just like how one would take care of their personal property.
“I also encourage everyone at Sarawak IPK to remain focused and committed to preserving and supporting the government’s policies aimed at the community’s wellbeing.”
