Iskandar Puteri, 22nd August 2023 - In line with the government's effort to turn Iskandar Malaysia in Johor into one of the country's leading investment hubs, the Iskandar Puteri District Police headquarters has introduced an English Language Learning Course for its personnel.
Iskandar Puteri Officer in Charge of Police District (OCPD), ACP Rahmat Ariffin said 26 policemen and women from various ranks had been
selected to be part of the four-month pioneer programme which started earlier this month.
At the end of the course, those who have been selected will be deployed to tourist attractions or general public areas to help foreigners, especially international travellers, in Iskandar Puteri.
“We aim to strengthen English language knowledge among our personnel so that they can speak more confidently when helping the public.
“Since we are also located near the Second Link, our police personnel are often called to assist foreigners, so we hope that with their good command of English, we can reduce any issues of miscommunication," ACP Rahmat said when met after visiting the first language session at the Iskandar Puteri District Police headquarters training room.
