A "drastic" shift in work culture and integrity is urgently needed within the police force, says Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.
Speaking at the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department's monthly assembly on Friday (Nov 15), the Inspector-General of Police expressed his disappointment and pain over instances where the trust placed in the police force has been exploited by individuals he described as selfish and dishonourable.
On enforcement efforts, Razarudin highlighted that the CCID had conducted 17,661 raids and operations, resulting in the arrests of 18,506 individuals.

00:00In the past three years, from 2021 to 2023,
00:13a total of 102,376 criminal cases have been investigated
00:20involving high crime rates, namely RM6.05 billion.
00:28For 2024, I understand that the statistics of commercial criminal cases
00:34reported from January to September are a total of 29,010 cases
00:42compared to 30,422 cases reported at the same time in 2023.
00:50This shows a decline of 4.6% or a total of 1,412 cases.
00:58Meanwhile, the number of losses recorded from January to September 2024
01:05is a total of RM1.98 billion,
01:11which shows an increase of 22.6% compared to the same time in the previous year.
01:20At that time, criminal cases involving six main operating models,
01:30namely telecommunications crimes, financial crimes, trade crimes, love scams,
01:37non-existent loans, and non-existent investments,
01:41are the most common criminal categories reported every year.
01:46For 2024 to September, a total of 24,671 cases have been recorded
01:56with a loss of RM1.04 billion.
02:01I am very optimistic that JSJK will be able to become a department
02:08that is protected from the aspect of investigation of commercial cases,
02:11especially related to fraud cases in a wider range
02:17and become the largest contributor to commercial criminal cases.
02:22In 2024, I see the JSJK's efforts to set up a strategy to fight commercial crimes
02:29through the implementation of various initiatives and plans,
02:33including investigation, operational risks, and prevention campaigns.
02:38From the impact of the crackdown on January to September 2024,
02:46this department has witnessed a total of 17,661 operations
02:52and a total of 18,506 individuals have been arrested for various types of commercial crimes.
03:05Meanwhile, from the aspect of investigation,
03:09for nine months in 2024,
03:13the JSJK has managed to process a total of 13,184 cases,
03:21while this department also carries out 7,267 criminal prevention programs throughout the country,
03:31including exhibitions, media collaborations, and meet-and-greet activities
03:38to increase public awareness so that they can avoid becoming criminals.
03:45Every time I emphasize the need for a drastic change in the culture of work
03:51and the level of integrity within each member of the JSJK
03:55so that the team remains relevant and respected by the community.
03:59However, although repeatedly reminders and warnings have been given,
04:05the level of integrity and standard adjustment of the JSJK is still at a worrying level.
04:12The behavior and image of the JSJK has been damaged by the arrests made against several members of the JSJK
04:21for various crimes of crime, bribery, and abuse of power.
04:26In fact, I was informed that in 2023,
04:31there were 22 JSJK officers arrested as suspects in commercial criminal cases.
04:39Moreover, the number of JSJK officers arrested in commercial criminal cases
04:46increased to 23 people from January to September 2024.
04:53I am still disappointed and disappointed when the trust of the blue community that we are proud of
05:02has been misused by those who feel that it is not too much
05:07if I act as an ungrateful and self-important person.
05:13Indeed, integrity is in the core of our self-determination and self-examination.
05:19The JSTRO is in full swing with the launch of the National Integrity Month 2024
05:25which will be held on November 5, 2024
05:32which was completed by His Excellency Datuk Seri Haji Fadhilah Yusof, Minister of Internal Affairs of the PDRM
05:40for his good and sincere efforts in strengthening the integrity culture.
05:46Here, I would like to share some of the principles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that are highly respected in terms of the launch.
05:55First, the launch of the National Integrity Month this year is to raise the national flag
06:02through the commitment to the integrity culture and the strict rules of conduct.
06:08Second, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
06:13to ensure that Malaysia is recognized as a country with high integrity and free of corruption.
06:19Third, to urge for the mutual practice of strict integrity
06:25to build a more sustainable and competitive Malaysia in the world.
