Insult allegations: PDRM investigating officer linked to viral video in China – IGP

KUALA LUMPUR, JUNE 23 -- The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has opened a disciplinary investigation paper against one of its members who went viral following allegations of insulting local residents while travelling in China recently.

He reminded all police officers and members to always maintain a code of conduct when they are in the country or abroad as they are subject to the force's regulations and standard operating procedures (SOPs), even if they are not wearing uniforms.
