Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar claims that laws similar to Emergency Ordinance (EO) should be introduced in order to plunge crime rate. Speaking on behalf of the police department, Khalid said such laws will surely bring a difference.

“I am confident violent crimes can be curbed if laws similar to the EO are introduced. The police will be able to put hardened criminals away if such calls are a reality,” he said.

Khalid is also hopeful that the reintroduction of an electronic number plate system (e-plate) will prove to be fruitful. E-plates were first proposed in Malaysia in 2006. These e-plates will contain RFID tags where information on the driver and the vehicle are stored.

“I think this is the right time to reintroduce the e-plate system. This system will give a hard time to the criminals — who steal vehicles or who commit crimes via stolen vehicles… We can trace the vehicle whether it is a legal or stolen vehicle that might using a fake registration number for other criminal purpose,” he said.
