Bentong, 17th June 2021 - Stranded due to the lockdown, a senior citizen found refuge at a police headquarters after concerned police officers got word of her predicament.

Bentong Officer Chief of Police District (OCPD), Superintendant Zaiham Mohd Kahar said, they were notified of the woman’s situation on Sunday night.

“We were then informed of her predicament. A police team was sent there to meet her after we managed to contact her by phone,” he said when contacted.

Superintendant Zaiham said, initially they planned to find her a hotel but Bandar Bentong was still under enhanced Movement Control Order (MCO).

He said the next option was to provide her refuge at the policedistrict headquarters.

“We have an area for those in transit but I felt that it was not proper. So we had an internal discussion and set up a room in our Police Family Association house for her to stay temporarily. The space is normally used by new recruits before they are assigned a permanent home,” he said.
