Malaysia’s airport security to be beefed up
Airport security nationwide will be beefed up next year with an addition of 799 personnel.
Datuk Abdul Razak Bokhari Bukit Aman Management Director Commissioner said the main focus of this security effort will be on international airports.
The deployment of the personnel, he said, came after a three-month intensive course at the General Operations Force (GOF).
“The graduates will be given a week off, after which they will be sent to the various airports in the country,” says Bokhari. “They will don the GOF uniform and be armed with HK MP5 submachine guns.”
Prior to their training in the GOF, the personnel had also undergone policing courses on public order and crime prevention in Kuching.
At present, there are about 400 personnel stationed at the Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching international airports.
“Safety at these airports has improved significantly,” says Bokhari. “The public, too, feels safer with these personnel around.”
