Fadil said his personnel must be ready to respond decisively when faced with risks or threats on duty.
“My advice to all Kuala Lumpur policemen on the ground is to stay alert. I do not want an incident like the one in Gombak to happen to my personnel serving on the front lines.
“Draw your firearm, identify your target and be prepared.

“If there is any obstruction, shoot. If there is any doubt, shoot. If you feel worried or threatened, shoot. Do not wait,” he said in an audio recording posted on the official Kuala Lumpur Police Facebook page.
Earlier, a Mobile Patrol Vehicle unit policeman from the Gombak police headquarters had his right hand severed after being slashed by a foreign man.
