BALIK PULAU: Police have clarified that a T-shirt bearing the logo of the Royal Malaysia Police and the name of the Barat Daya district police headquarters (IPD), worn by a foreign man, is not meant for official duties.

Barat Daya OCPD Supt Kamarul Rizal Jenal said investigations revealed the shirt was produced in 2016 for social activities such as exercise and community clean-up events.

"The police detected a 19-second viral video at 1.30pm Monday (Sept 2), showing a man believed to be a Bangladeshi national wearing a T-shirt with the words ‘IPD Barat Daya’ and the PDRM logo printed on it.

"The investigation found that the T-shirt was made in 2016 for social activities like exercise, gotong-royong and similar events. It is not meant for the official use of the Barat Daya IPD,” he said in a statement Tuesday (Sept 3).

Supt Kamarul Rizal also advised the public against speculating about the viral video and assured that the police had taken note of the issue. - Bernama
