KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 — The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will tighten security measures at strategic locations, including state palaces, that might be the focal points of certain parties after the results of elections in six states are announced this Saturday.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said that it was to ensure the safety and public order post-elections, adding that the security at state palaces was vital as the police did not want any disruptions, especially during the middle of the night, after results were announced.
“We don’t want the palace or the Sultan in the state to be disturbed in the middle of the night by anyone attempting to be sworn in.
“We will ensure the transition of the state government takes place in a peaceful manner, in accordance with the Constitution,” he said in a special media conference in Bukit Aman here today.
