THE Penang government and the Crime Consciousness & Public Safety Society (CCPSS) Penang are committed to keeping the state safe.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow stressed that the state must not be a haven for criminal activities.
“The rule of law must be upheld at all times to ensure a safe environment for the people.
“To be safe, our people must be well-informed on what is happening every day around us. This is important for people to not easily fall prey to any scams.
“CCPSS Penang has been actively working with various stakeholders to prevent crime,” he said in his speech during the media appreciation and fundraising night for the CCPSS Penang at The Ascott Gurney Hotel.
