00:00Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has strongly condemned the attack
00:04on an on-duty police officer in Kepung and prayed for his speedy recovery.
00:09Anwar said violence against enforcement personnel was unacceptable
00:13and called for firm action against all criminal acts
00:16to uphold the rule of law and protect officers on duty.
00:21Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Fadil Marsus
00:24ordered officers to shoot without hesitation when facing life-threatening situations.
00:30In an audio recording posted on the KL Police's official Facebook page on Thursday,
00:35he said he did not want a repeat of the incident involving frontline officers.
00:40I don't want a case like what is happening in Kompak.
00:43It's because I have a member in the front.
00:47So, make sure, like I said, you must be ready.
00:50You must be able to draw. You must be able to engage.
00:53You can be ready to shoot.
00:55If there is a threat, there is a threat, there is a threat, there is a threat, there is a
01:00threat, there is a threat, there is a threat, there is a threat.
01:09The threat is to protect front line officers in dangerous situations.
01:13The reminder followed Wednesday's attack in Desa Amanpuri, Kepung,
01:17where a 26-year-old Lance Corporal had his right hand severed by a foreign man armed with a machete.
01:24The suspect was later shot dead by police.
