Johor police chief responds to remark made by Penang Chief Minister about security

Responding to a remark made by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng about Johor's security, state police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff said only 320 crimes involving Singaporeans were recorded in Johor last year. Most involved missing cars and motorcycles.

Since 2008, only two cases of abduction of Singaporeans were reported.

He said criminals do not select their victims based on nationality, race or religion but commit crime as and when they get the opportunity.

"We have put in place various strategies including increasing police intelligence, working with community policing groups, increasing raids, creating police beats and utilising the latest technology to clamp down on crime here," he added.
