SEREMBAN: Police will conduct a thorough review to determine if there is a need to improve security procedures at airports especially Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
Federal police management director Datuk Seri Zulkifli Abdullah said apart from installation of new and latest technology, the police are also considering an increase in personnel deployment.
He said his in response to questions on airport security following the death of Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) on Monday.
“We will focus on elements that needed to be improved and how can we utilise it to tighten the security system. Besides deploying more personnel at the airport, the use of new technology is equally important,” he said.
Zulkifli added that for now, in light of the Monday incident, any procedural changes will be based on the Selangor police chief’s assessment.
“The case is still being investigated and let the Selangor police team complete the work. We (the Management Department) in Bukit Aman will assist if there is a need.” he said, after officiating the High Profile Policing and IJM Land Berhad corporate contribution presentation event held at Mydin Seremban 2 here today.
