The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will receive a consignment of 1,200 new patrol cars in stages from the end of the year, Bernama reports.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said the new Proton Inspira patrol cars (we see some new Preves in the pics too) will replace those which are eight-years old and above. There’s a new livery for the cop cars too, now with reflective stripes of green on the bonnet and flanks.
“The new patrol cars will have a new image. The stripe will be slightly changed and we will use a green reflector. The cars will be fitted with additional equipment and new technology,” he told reporters after attending a handing over of duties ceremony at Bukit Aman yesterday.
The IGP added that the force is looking to equip the new patrol cars with the C4i system which involves the business of directing, controlling, communication, coordination and information, with Global Positioning System (GPS). “To date, only a small number of cars are using the C4i system, we only conduct tests on several cars,” he said.
What do you think of our new police car livery?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
oh hey lets put on a few green stripes so we can subtly change new cars
Why give us shit car to use?
PDRM BOSS: is better than beancurd Vios, u think Perodua qualified? Perodua is too rubbish, foreign visitors will laugh if we use rubbish as patrol car.
Proton is king of rubbish. beancurd still way better than king of rubbish Proton
I drive this preve can tapau your car in anytime
You think foreign visitors won’t laugh if we use rubbish Proton as patrol car? What if foreigners know we are spending millions to maintain a Proton? Hahaha
What do you expect??? BMW???
Even BMW is cheaper to maintain than Proton. Don’t believe? Ask SPANCO
You yourself must give proof. No use if have to ask others
Sembang Kencang. Pernah pakai BMW ke?
To clear the Warehouse of Pronton
Yes, parking so long time in poton warehouse.
Nobody buy”? no problem, I can ask all dept buy these as official car.
They just need car, whatever car, to get donation! Thats 1 Malaysia!
Now you know why Proton sales increase even though nobody is buying
anyone would be nervous seeing whoever drives a silver/white preve these days..
donation money put in good use
Don’t judge too early. Retail at $70-90K, buy in such quantity should got less, hmmm $2.60 perhaps! But they might get in $200K each with what C4i, gps, bla bla bla… Plus $10K++ service a year!
police patrol cars are not taxed.
only those use by officers are rented from spanco and these are taxed as usual.
for preve without tax is roughly 30-38k. and should be cheaper since its the government who is making the purchase.
So this cars are rent or buy?
Ya, very good question that must be answered. Rented from crony company at super inflated price, or bought? Or have super expensive maintenance, RM5,000 brake service, etc?
To songlap
why green???….urrghhhh
You see green, you give duit kopi
SPANCO SDN BHD?
Are those stripes reflective?
wheres my ferrari embossed with POLIS livery?
my high speed chase POLIS ferrari
In US, you can be go to court for decorating ur Maserati in police livery but with Decepticon logo. So go figure…
They should added front and rear bullbars to ensure those who dare to ram polis cars must oso suffer and not run away.
i like.
Thank you!
malaysia 1 are not for pursueing.
Its for donation and pasar malam
Ya ya. When ur Polo ram polis car, this time I hope they spray it with 50 bullets.
Do the polis like the Preve rather than Inspira? =O
new cars… same piece of shit attitude..
Don’t talk cock..check your attitude first 3rd world mentality al malaun
i just hope that the preves are the manual ones. though with only 110hp campro engine.
and not the CVT turbo combi like used by AIO (silver colour ones).
Clear stock from Proton
-BigBalls-
Not received 1200 new car, its rent another 1200 car …under direct deal contract…as usual
get your fact right.
patrol car is outright purchase, maintain by SPANCO and at end of life will be auction off.
the one you might be angry is at SPANCO monopoly.. no competition at all. competition act should be used against this company
whatever….. still get into my pockets.
New livery,bt same old immoral corrupt practices…
Rakyat Diperkecilkan has lost faith in govt. Just like how last time consumers have no faith in Japanese-made products, then no faith in China-made products.
Because of all these dirty tactics and corruption, everything they do will be skeptical.
Only themselves to blame. Will they change? Why should they? As long as “donations” from Middle East keeps coming into their own pockets and how little of it flows to rakyat pockets.
Which is worse: the giver or the taker? the one who start the fight or the one who joins the fight?
give business to Proton lah.. kesian Proton maaaa..
if you read comment all over the world about police force – especially traffic, most of the commentators will only commment bad/negative things..seems like world wide police are bad, seems like we dont need police..seems like police kasi susah hidup kita..seems like we love to live in no law world.
corrupt lah, lazy lah…aiyah..so many negative mindset in most of commentators, be positive dude!.
im not a policeman, but i respect their duty to keep the world we living in peace – corrupted or not, i dont know.
The commentators forgot that the worse police is the World Police aka Amerika.
what’s with the green stripes? At first i thought they could be electric/hybrids. what does green signify?
Money
With RM2.6 billion, they deserved more than this. PDRM can get BMW 320D if not for the corrupted Ministers.
Clearing stock I see since Inspira isn’t on sale anymore
I saw that yellow stun gun, since when RMP use it?
it could be pepper spray gun, but idk also le.
good observation mate.
cronies in action, 2 parties
1) Protong (cant sell outside already)
2) the one manage the PDRM car (just like Spanco that manage gov cars)
now u see robber’s land wont broke?
PROTON often breakdown for no reason…Electronics are problematic. Macahnical issues still not sorted out…
I hope the police cars wont breakdown by themselves during car-chase, or emergency trip to the crime scene…Or leaving polis guys stranded. So malu…
You must mistakenly see VW, not p1
I don’t like the new livery, the old one looks infinitely more attractive.
The PDRM will be receiving Inspiras, in late 2015 ? That doesn’t make any sense. Proton stopped producing the Inspira for several months now, but it’s true that their stock has not yet been depleted. Does this mean Proton will be restarting production of the Inspira ? I have strong doubts about that. From what I can tell, the Prevé should account for the bulk of the PDRM’s new fleet. The Inspira has always been more for the higher ranking officers, and even today, the Waja remains the PDRM’s bread & butter police cruiser.
As for some people claiming that this move is a BAD thing… you couldn’t be any more mistaken. First things first, tell me, for every country with their own national car companies, which country DOESN’T use their own local brands ? Exactly, you’ve already lost the debate, and I’m not done yet. You see, by using Protons as their bread & butter cruisers, the PDRM is in fact saving millions of ringgit by buying less expensive patrol cars. If the PDRM wanted, they could buy expensive foreign makes, but they don’t have enough money to buy many of them. For every 1 imported car PDRM buys, they could buy 2 or 3 local cars. And by choosing to buy more new Protons, the PDRM can field more police cars, which they can then use to patrol your neighbourhood and curb crime. Whatever money the PDRM can save, they could spend on niche cars like the Lancer Evo previously and the X-Trail which Proton or Perodua have no equivalent to. At the end of the day, it’s our taxpayers’ money that is being spent, so we want the PDRM to save as much as possible and waste little of. Plus, by buying Protons, the PDRM is indirectly supporting our automotive industry, which will grow and benefit more Malaysians with more jobs and better products. The PDRM will relay feedback directly to Proton, and Proton will in turn continue to refine their products thanks to said feedback.
And it’s not like Proton cars don’t make good police cars either, Protons are known to be good handling cars, which make them ideal for fast police chases in tight urban areas. The Prevé is also 5-star ANCAP rated, which means our officers’ lives are more protected than ever before. Malaysia is not the only country in the world to use Protons as police cars. The Humberside Police Force in the United Kingdom have been using hundreds of Protons for over a decade, including the Wira, Persona and Waja/ Impian. They use LPG/ Autogas which costs less to run per mile, and over the years Humberside has saved millions in tax payers’ money in operating costs. Humberside have even requested Proton to send them more cars, but Proton stopped producing the Waja and thus could only send the last few units in 2010/2011. The U.K. aside, Proton cars are also actively used as police cars in Indonesia today.
If you don’t want to buy a Proton, then don’t because nobody’s forcing you, but please don’t shove your bigotry and favouritism down others’ throats. If you like some other company, go and show THEM your support, don’t diss their competitors just because you can. If you have constructive criticism or feedback to share, do it in the right way through the right channels.
There is nothing wrong with PDRM buying more Protons, ultimately, that very same Proton may one day save your sorry arse from trouble.
wow! that’s a long sermon. have you hit the maximum character allowed in a comment?
How ironic it is….
If Protong is able to sell overseas, this currency depreciation is the best chance for them to sell more…but when its a rubbish, people wont pay a dime to buy it..
how sad and the truth and reality hit…
People say it’s rubbish when it has 5 stars Australasian NCAP. People will buy moving coffin when it has only 4 star Asean NCAP. Sigh.
1200 x RM60,000+ = RM72 millions
Rich nia…
POLITICS! POLITICS! POLITICS! MOST OF COMMENTER NEVER LOVED THEIR OWN COUNTRY. EVERYTHING POLICE DO IS BAD. PERHAPS YOU ALL SHOULD MOVED TO HONG KONG OR PEKING.
