Malaysia
is in the top 20 list of the safest countries in the world according to a
survey by an international research institute on peace and security.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu
Bakar said Malaysia had been ranked 19th among 153 countries in the latest
Global Peace Index (GPI) report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)
this year.
In 2009, Malaysia was the third safest in Asia
after Japan and Singapore, and was 26th among 144 countries in the GPI.
“Last year, Malaysia was 22nd on the GPI ahead
of Singapore and only second to Japan as the safest in Asia,” he said when
launching the Ops Utama Perdana Feet on the Street campaign here yesterday.
Khalid credited the achievement to the
cooperation between the Government, police and the people.
On the campaign, a programme under the
country’s National Key Result Areas, Khalid said the initiative could work
wonders in reducing the crime index and street crime in Sabah and Sarawak.
He said the programme had been successful in
the four peninsula states where it had been implemented.
He said about 500 general operation force
personnel would be involved in the campaign and they would be aided by a host
of personnel from Rela, the Civil Defence Department and Neighbourhood Watch,
among others.
