KUCHING: About 70 per cent of the police personnel from Kuching District Police Headquarters (IPD Kuching) will be deployed for the coming 14th General Election (GE14).
According to Kuching District Police chief ACP Abang Ahmad Abang Julai, the police exercise yesterday was part of those conducted throughout the whole country in preparation for the coming GE14. This is necessary to prevent any untoward incident for the coming pre and post GE14.
