KUALA Lumpur police have advised the public not to share information on police presence and roadblocks through the Waze navigation app.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim said doing so will only hamper enforcement efforts against motorists driving under the influence of alcohol and those who commit other traffic offences.

He said road users should be aware of the dangers they face due to negligence of drink drivers, those running red lights or those driving against the flow of traffic.

“Those who have never been affected by the misfortune caused by the carelessness and negligence of traffic offenders will not be able to feel the pain and suffering victims’ families have to endure,” he said at the High Profile Policing programme at Wonderland Park, Taman Sri Murni, Kuala Lumpur last night.

“And that is why it is my hope that the public, especially road users, will cooperate with the police instead of trying to help those who commit traffic offences.”

Also present at the event, which is aimed at raising awareness of crime prevention and safety, were Sentul district police chief Beh Eng Lai and JL 99 group executive chairman Jeff Lee. – Bernama, January 29, 2023.
