KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 – Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has advised football players or football association management who feel their safety is threatened to promptly lodge a police report.
Razarudin emphasised the importance of reporting to enable immediate police investigations, and to ensure that incidents such as the recent attacks against several prominent footballers in the country do not recur.
“For the police to provide protection and surveillance to every football player across the country is indeed challenging. Therefore, I urge any football player who perceives threats to their safety, feels followed, or experiences stalking at home, to report to the police or the nearest police station,“ he told reporters at the Defence Services Asia (DSA) and National Security (NatSec) Asia 2024 exhibition on Thursday.
He was asked to comment on Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail’s recommendation for the police to enhance the level of security measures following three physical attacks on national football players recently.
