Anwar Demands Firm Action After Officer Loses Wrist in Attack

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has strongly condemned an attack on a police officer who lost his right wrist after being assaulted by a foreign man in Kepong, Selangor, on Wednesday afternoon.

Anwar said violence and criminal acts, particularly those directed at enforcement personnel responsible for protecting public safety, were completely unacceptable. He stressed that firm action must be taken against anyone involved in criminal activities, regardless of their background, to uphold the rule of law and protect officers carrying out their duties.

In a Facebook statement, Anwar also expressed hope that the injured officer would recover quickly. The incident reportedly involved a machete attack that resulted in the officer suffering the traumatic loss of his right wrist while performing his duties.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar confirmed that the officer had been taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment and was reported to be in stable condition.

The attack has renewed concerns over the safety of frontline enforcement personnel, who regularly face risks while responding to incidents and maintaining public order. Anwar’s remarks underline the government’s position that attacks against police officers must be dealt with firmly to ensure public confidence in law enforcement and the protection of those serving the community.
