Police assess BMW and VW models for use in fleet
By THE STAR | 08 October 2021KUALA LUMPUR: Five German cars received by the police on Thursday were for test-drive purposes, says Bukit Aman.
The five vehicles, which comprised a BMW M3, two X3 and two Volkswagen Tiguan, would be test-driven for two weeks.
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said police have yet to decide whether to buy the vehicles.
"We are using the vehicles for two weeks on a trial basis without any agreement signed.
"We want to gain feedback whether the vehicles are suitable or not for police duties," he said when contacted today.
He was commenting on photos of the vehicles that went viral on social media.
Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order department director Comm Datuk Hazani Ghazali said the vehicles would be test-driven by the department, the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department and the police escort unit during the trial period.
Comm Hazani said the police were aware of the government's financial constraints during the Covid-19 pandemic.
