Imams Salute Police
By Azrol Azmi

Bandar Seri Begawan - As the Royal Brunei Police Force buckles up to celebrate its 861 Anniversary in 2007, the Imams yesterday urged people to extend their unbridled support to the members of the long arm of the law.

The Imams in their Friday Sermon lauded the police for their selfless duties and responsibilities in ensuring the Sultanate's peace and stability.

"Brunei Darussalam is a peaceful and prosperous country free from disorder and disturbances. The police continue to ensure the peace as they have done down the years," said the Imams during Friday Noon Mass Prayer.

The Imams urged the community to help support the Royal Brunei Police Force in curbing crime and unwanted activities while safeguarding the nation's security. They went on to say that the Royal Brunei Police Force has been the main enforcer of laws ever since 1921. They will celebrate their 86th anniversary in the upcoming New Year 2007.

"The Royal Brunei Police Force are called upon to face many challenges in conducting their day to day duties and responsibilities as well as maintaining law and order and safety of the citizenry,' the Imams said.

They pointed out that the police shoulder a great responsibility in ensuring the security of the nation and police personnel are exposed to various situations that are often risky and dangerous.

"Few have suffered while performing their duties and they are indeed worthy of appreciation," said the Imams.

The Royal Brunei Police Force Anniversary provides an ideal opportunity for the people to reflect upon their valuable service to the nation and achievements. Imams urged the nation to express their gratitude and appreciation to the contributions and efforts made by the Royal Brunei Police Force.

Islam encourages the community to live helping each other towards mutual harmony and goodwill and thus creating respect and love towards one another, the Imams added. Such behaviour and demeanour will invariably help usher in a harmonious society as well as a unified Islamic community.

Hopefully, a peaceful environment in the country will also help the police maintain and enhance safety and national security.

The Imams reminded the public to be civic conscious by reporting any untoward activities and crime to the police for necessary action.

. The imams called on the people to uphold the good image of the police as they are recognised for the noble image they portray. Nothing should be done to devalue this trait or reduce the level of credibility of the force. The Police should on their part remain forever brave, loyal and just in performing their duties especially while dealing with law enforcement and should refrain from the misuse of power or resort to corruption, they added.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
