Efforts to safeguard security a success 03 JUNE 2011 , BY THE STAR
Cooperation between the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) and law enforcement agencies especially the police to safeguard public and investors security in Iskandar Malaysia was a roaring success.
IRDA chief executive Ismail Ibrahim said close cooperation between both parties helped reduce the crime index by 24% and street crime by 42% compared to last year.
“We have always acknowledged the fact that safety is of utmost importance and of our investors’ concern.
“In circumventing this issue, IRDA has worked hand-in-glove with the Royal Malaysia Police to ensure safety and security is continuously preserved,” he said.
Ismail added that efforts to boost public security also saw the police increasing its personnel in the special economic zone from 6,172 in 2007 to 9,115 this year.
To further cement the police presence in Iskandar Malaysia, Ismail said IRDA was awaiting the approval from the Police to recruit a battalion strength of 924 Auxiliary Police personnel.
The Auxiliary Police battalion, he said, would be deployed at critical infrastructure and catalytic projects within Iskandar Malaysia.
As part of the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) initiative to “flood” Iskandar Malaysia with policemen, the Johor police, he added, had launched 26 mobile beat bases to complement the additional 480 personnel provided by the e General Operations Force (GOF).
Since the economic corridor, which is twice the size of Singapore, was launched in 2006, it has managed to attract RM70 billion in investments.
