Kelantan: Police have tightened security measures at all police facilities in Kelantan following a series of threats at the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) Kelantan Contingent Shooting Range in Bachok, including deploying security personnel and requesting the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat stated that the measures were enacted after acts of vandalism involving graffiti depicting threats were found on the fence of the PDRM Kelantan Contingent Shooting Range. Additionally, a black bag was discovered in the area, believed to be linked to an attempt to intimidate the police.

Mohd Yusoff explained that he instructed the Bachok district police chief to station personnel at the Bachok Shooting Range and requested CCTVs to be installed at all police premises to strengthen security and assist investigations. "In my view, this is a form of threat, an attempt to intimidate us. We are still investigating from that perspective," he told Bernama recently.

The incidents occurred shortly after police reopened nearly 100 investigation papers related to illegal moneylending activities that had previously not been pursued. "The first incident happened after I cracked down on the loan sharks. When I reopened nearly 100 cases that had previously not been acted upon, the graffiti appeared at the shooting range two or three days later," he explained.

Despite these threats, Mohd Yusoff emphasized that his determination to continue combating crime for the benefit of the public remains undeterred. "I don't feel anything. I'm not afraid or anxious at all because I have entrusted my life to Allah Almighty. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not afraid of anything because I do my work lillahi ta'ala (for the sake of Allah). My goal is to help the community and serve society," he affirmed.
