Johor Bahru, 9th December 2022 - Not everyone would give up a well-paying job to pursue a childhood passion in law enforcement, but that was what Inspector S. Parthiban did.

Inspector Parthiban, who worked in the Information Technology field in the private sector, gave it all up to follow his heart and join the police force and is now an Inspector.

“I have no regrets taking a pay cut to be a policeman as I have always wanted to be a cop,” the father of one boy said after receiving a commendation letter from Police Chief of Johor, CP Dato’ Kamarul Zaman Mamat during the top cop’s monthly address to his men in Johor Bahru.

Another recipient, Inspector Wan Jinn Seong, 32, who hails from Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, has a degree in public relations and an Master of Business Administration.

He credited public cooperation in helping him and his team to bust a syndicate with the arrest of 46 people involved in scams recently.

Another award recipient Sergeant R. Muraly, 42, said it was great to be recognised for the work done as a detective.

For Sub-Inspector Muzairi Ahmad, 59, who also received a commendation letter, being in the police force for the past 41 years has been an exciting experience.

“You need a lot of patience being a policeman as you are constantly on call,” he said, adding that he would always treasure his time with the force.

Dato’ Kamarul Zaman, in his speech, commended all the recipients and urged them to continue doing their best with full commitment and integrity.

“While we have achieved many successes, it is important for us not to be content with our achievements but instead strive to improve our shortcomings to provide the best service to the community,” he said.
