KOTA SAMARAHAN, July 8: Plans to establish a new Sarawak Contingent Police Headquarters (IPK) are progressing, with the procurement process now underway as part of efforts to strengthen the management and administration of the State police force.

Sarawak Police Commissioner CP Datuk Mohamad Zainal Abdullah said the new IPK, which will be constructed on land provided by the Sarawak government, is expected to further improve the force’s operational efficiency in the future.

According to Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) news, he said the project had received allocation approval from the federal government under last year’s budget, with the required documentation currently being prepared.

“We are currently completing the necessary documents, and I believe the establishment of the new Sarawak IPK will further enhance the management and administration of the force in the future,” he told reporters after attending the Rank Insignia Presentation and Handover of Duties Ceremony for the Kota Samarahan District Police chief and Padawan District Police chief at the Kota Samarahan District Police Headquarters (IPD) multipurpose hall today.

Mohamad Zainal said the restructuring of leadership positions in several police districts across Sarawak was also part of ongoing efforts to strengthen administration and improve security service delivery to the public.

“The district police chief plays a crucial role in every district. The transfers and promotion of officers are part of our continuous efforts to reorganise district-level administration in Sarawak,” he said.

The ceremony also saw the appointment of Superintendent Barry William as the new Padawan District Police chief following his promotion, while Superintendent Mohd Irwan Hafiz Md Radzi assumed the role of Kota Samarahan District Police chief.

Mohamad Zainal added that several leadership restructuring exercises had been implemented among Sarawak’s 28 police districts since he assumed the post of Sarawak Police Commissioner, with the aim of further strengthening the force’s management and effectiveness.

Also present at the ceremony were Sarawak Deputy Police Commissioner DCP Saifullizan Ishak, political secretary to the Sarawak Premier Afiq Fikri Brahim, Kota Samarahan Municipal Council (MPKS) chairman Abang Ismail Abang Ali, Asajaya District officer Jerry Zainuddin Bidin and Temenggong of the Samarahan Malay Community Chek Bujang. — DayakDaily
