TASKING GIVEN TO WOMEN OFFICERS:

CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF WOMEN
OFFICERS

PERFORM THAT SPECIFIC
JOB AND DELIVER RESULT
WOMEN OFFICERS ARE
REWARDED BASED ON
MERIT

GIVEN FIELD POSITIONS
THAT ARE SUITABLE WITH
NATURE OF THE DUTY

WORKING ENVIRONMENT
WOMEN OFFICERS WORK HAND IN
HAND WITH MALE COLLEAGUES
WITH MUTUAL RESPECT AND
SUPPORT FROM BOTH SENIOR &
SUBORDINATES. WORKING
CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE
ENOUGH
TO BRING ABOUT THE DESIRED
TEAM WORK IN ACHIEVING
SPECIFIC TASKING
WOMEN OFFICERS ENJOYED
BENEFITS THAT ARE PRESCRIBED
TO THEM BY GOVERNMENT
DIRECTIVES SUCH AS MATERNITY
LEAVE, POSTING & TRANSFER
BASED ON SPOUSE’S POSTING
YES, THERE ARE CASES OF SEXUAL
HARRASMENT BUT IT IS VERY
RARE AND ARE NORMALLY
ISOLATED IN
NATURE. IN GENERAL,WOMEN
OFFICERS ARE TREATED EQUALLY
AND WITH MUTUAL RESPECT
WOMEN OFFICERS ENJOYED
EQUAL PAY AS MALE COLLEAGUES
THUS THEY ARE REQUIRED TO
PERFORM EQUALLY EXCEPT FOR
CERTAIN DUTIES THAT ARE
DEEMED NOT SUITABLE FOR
WOMEN

Glass Ceiling
IN ROYAL MALAYSIA POLICE THERE IS NO
GLASS CEILING AND THE SKY IS YOUR
LIMIT. IF THERE IS SUCH THING, IT IS THE
OFFICER HERSELF WHO CREATED THE
LIMIT OUT OF FEAR THAT SHE CAN’T
PERFORM OR DELIVER ACCORDINGLY.
WE ARE LUCKY IN THE SENSE THAT OUR
GOVERNMENT MADE IT A POLICY THAT
WOMEN SHALL BE GIVEN EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY IN EVERY SECTOR OF
PUBLIC SERVICES AND ALL GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES MUST ENSURE 30% OF
WOMEN ARE PLACED IN DECISION
MAKING POSTS.

WOMEN IN POLICING &
POLICING THE WOMEN
WHEN IT COMES TO POLICING THE
WOMEN, RMP GIVE SPECIAL EMPHASIS
TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN. WE HAVE THE
FOLLOWING PROGRAMME TO ASSIST
WOMEN IN SEEKING PROTECTION
AND JUSTICE:
► WOMEN INVESTIGATORS TO HANDLE
SEXUAL RELATED CASES
► WOMEN & CHILD PROTECTION CENTRE
TO SAFEGUARD THEIR SECURITY &
INTEREST WHILE UNDERGOING
INVESTIGATION FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
► JOINT EFFORT WITH LOCAL NGOs TO PROVIDE
SUPPORT SERVICES LIKE COUNSELLING
► SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO INVESTIGATE
SYNDICATED WORK PERTAINING TO CRIME
AGAINST WOMEN & CHILDREN

Women Friendly Ministry
ROYAL MALAYSIA POLICE IS AN AGENCY UNDER
THE HOME AFFAIRS MINISTRY
HOWEVER, IN MALAYSIA WE HAVE A WOMEN
FRIENDLY MINISTRY WHICH SUPPORT THE RMP
IN ANY PROGRAMME PERTAINING TO WOMEN
AND
CHILD PROTECTION. THE MINISTRY CAN
FACILITATE RMP IN EVENTS UNDER ITS PURVIEW
SUCH AS CAMPAIGNING AGAINST SNATCH THEFT
WHERE WOMEN ARE TARGETED.
MINISTER OF WOMAN, FAMILY &
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUPPORT FOR SUCH PROGRAMME ACTED AS A
BOOSTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE FUNDING
WHILE OURS ARE RUNNING LOW
ROYAL MALAYSIA POLICE –IWPC
13
SO WE TRY TO INCORPORATE THE WOMEN
FRIENDLY MINISTRY WHENEVER IT IS POSSIBLE
TO MAINTAIN A WIN-WIN SITUATION
The Way Forward
TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING…..
• SEND FOR OVERSEAS COURSES TO ACQUIRE
NEW KNOWLEDGE & TECHNIQUE OF
INVESTIGATION
• HANDS-ON EXPOSURE FOR YOUNG
OFFICERS
• ATTACHMENT WITH FOREIGN POLICE
FORCE FOR TRAINING PURPOSE
•GETTING CLOSE TO THE COMMUNITY
TO FEEL THE HEAT AND PULSE OF THE
GROUND
•INCREASE SITUATIONAL AWRENESS
ROYAL MALAYSIA POLICE –IWPC
15
THE ONLY CONSTANT
IN LIFE IS CHANGE
POLICE LEADERSHIP MUST HAVE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE IN
ORDER TO REMAIN RELEVANT IN TODAY’S THREAT ENVIRONMENT
16
WOMEN POLICE ARE AN EQUAL PARTNER IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND BY HAVING MORE WOMEN POLICE THE
BURDEN OF MAINTANING PEACE AND ORDER CAN BE EQUALLY
DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN CAPABLE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
POLICE FORCE AND THERE IS NOTHING TO LOSE BUT
EVERYTHING TO GAIN
