BMW Motorrad R 1250 GS is just OVERKILL…!
Plenty of other models which cost less to purchase and cost less maintenance wise too.
Suzuki V Strom 1050, Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L, Yamaha Super Tenere 1200 to name a few.
Malaysian pipu lost job, no income, NO food on table… Pilots lost our jobs, workers retrenched, Makcik kiah warung tutup hilang rezeki.
MCO no cars running outside. But gomen still wasted plenty of Billions on BMW Motorrad R 1250 GS. What all these govt ministers were thinking?!!

Wow, Hilux for police car. Such tough beauty truck
Awesome with BMW motorbike and Hilux
Hailak
Powerful Pick Up Hilux
Bring it on
WASTE of PUBLIC Moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats even bettter is to replace or add more MPV to some station which is in dire need of an MPV.
What happen in my area is that IPK will get the new MPV but smaller station will get tge ‘used car’ from IPK. Its all good if the MPV is in good shape but being and MPV, its in critical need of repair.
Then there is the weird choice of vehicle. The Preve is used by IO? To me, the Preve over qualify as an IO car..the Persona is sufficient. Use the saving to buy a Preve or whatever car to replace old MPV at those small police station.
The MPV at smaller station is used to the max. If they have limited MPV or the other unit is being repair then the remaining MPV will run 24hrs non stop with maybe 1/2hrs rest between shift.
Bad news for criminals..
Aiyaa…Hiux 2.8 can overtake Mivi. Even bMw bike can overtake Mivi. Lol
Policeman on motorbike is fast, efficient and effective to combat crimes in city traffic jam Road.
Small small road, area, Taman and lorong, no problem to catch criminals..
Thx PDRM to increase Toyota sales.

Hope government can still afford to pay for their salaries.

Tahniah!
Understandable Hilux famous for durability, but why BMW Motorrad? Budget need to be carefully spend PDRM.
These BMW usage for “VIP” escort?
4×4 is good, can go offroad to find the culprits
From sungai pencemaran, drug trafficking to others
Good. Sekarang boleh tangkap/saman org yg xde lampu brek ke-3, x pakai safety belt, lampu no plet x menyala waktu malam, etc., tanpa perlu roadblock. Ronda, jumpa, saman. It will be good kalau setiap anggota ada rakaman suara dan video, dan setiap rakyat dibenarkan rakam apabila ditahan. Say no to rasuah!
Nope, thats not the intended usage af any the vehicles above.
In bad times, the Malaysian government have the money to buy 24 units of bmw r1250gsa which cost rm115k each, not including accessories….
There are many other models which is more capable and reliable, like the ever reliable Honda st1300.
Be prepared for the repair cost when these units break down, which is very early, surprisingly.
Ask Mohan, our Paul Tan resident motorbike writer.
Bikes and other vehicles are leased from 3rd party. True overkill to use BMW but UTKs usually escort pm/dpm, Sultans and YDPA. Takkan use kapchai. Their jobs also not to chase after mat rempit or mybi but perimeter vehicle defence.
gomen buys stuff tax free maa..
