Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia (The Star/ANN) - Malaysia is in the top 20 list of the safest countries in the world according to a survey by an international research institute on peace and security.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said Malaysia had been ranked 19th among 153 countries in the latest Global Peace Index (GPI) report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) this year.
In 2009, Malaysia was the third safest in Asia after Japan and Singapore, and was 26th among 144 countries in the GPI.
"Last year, Malaysia was 22nd on the GPI ahead of Singapore and only second to Japan as the safest in Asia," he said when launching the Ops Utama Perdana Feet on the Street campaign here yesterday.
Khalid credited the achievement to the cooperation between the Government, police and the people.
On the campaign, a programme under the country's National Key Result Areas, Khalid said the initiative could work wonders in reducing the crime index and street crime in Sabah and Sarawak.
He said the programme had been successful in the four peninsula states where it had been implemented.
He said about 500 general operation force personnel would be involved in the campaign and they would be aided by a host of personnel from Rela, the Civil Defence Department and Neighbourhood Watch, among others.
