KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has condemned the attack on a policeman whose right wrist was severed by a foreign national in Kepong yesterday afternoon.

Anwar said all forms of crime and violence, particularly against enforcement personnel tasked with protecting public safety, were entirely unacceptable.

“Firm action must be taken against any criminal act, regardless of who commits it, to uphold the rule of law and ensure the safety of enforcement personnel on duty.

“I pray that the officer makes a speedy recovery,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday.

Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said yesterday that the police personnel was being treated at Kuala Lumpur Hospital and was in stable condition. — Bernama
