KINIGUIDE | Police's long-awaited body cams

KINIGUIDE | The proposal to equip the police with body-worn cameras (BWCs), or body cams, has been mooted for many years.

That long wait may finally be over after Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced in May that the first batch of the device will arrive as early as this month.

For this instalment of KiniGuide, Malaysiakini spoke to the Bukit Aman Crime Prevention And Community Safety Department director Wan Hassan Wan Ahmad and BWC supplier Mindwave Consultancy director Fakhrun Nizam Tajudin on what to expect in the roll-out.
