KUALA LUMPUR: Police announced today that non-Malays without a credit in Bahasa Malaysia in the SPM examinations will be accepted into the force in a special police constable intake that will begin next week.
Federal police administration department director Commissioner Datuk Ramli Din said the move to relax the requirement of a credit in Bahasa Malaysia was to encourage non-bumiputeras to join the police force.
However, he said apart from fulfilling physical and health conditions, those who are accepted for the constable (YA1) recruitment will be required to obtain a credit for the SPM Bahasa Malaysia papers within six years of joining the police force.
