KUALA LUMPUR: His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, has extended his heartfelt appreciation to all members of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for their contributions and dedicated service to safeguarding the security and peace in the country.

"Al-Fatihah for those who have left us forever. May their souls be placed among the believers and martyrs.

"Happy 217th Police Day to all PDRM members and veterans," said His Majesty in a Facebook post on the 'Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar' account today.
