PM VISIT TO UNIVERSITY MALAYA

Date: 22 Dec 2011. One day b4 that VC summoned me to his office and asked evrything about the security. Told him eveything was in order. Silently I thanked the Malaysian Royal Police. They too were very busy, but so many many policemen came and I do not know who was the boss. IPK KL, Brickfields or just the Pantai dalam Pondok. Nevertheless, they were great.

My 'boys' secured the target 48 hours before the D Day. I didnt had enough sleep for 3 days, was there every night to supervise. If anything were to happen, image of UM would be affected. WORST, the Police told me, they will not interfere. We will face rowdy students all by ourselves.

I plan everthing in silent with my 2 officers, they never grumble. Wahyu was not himself because his younger brother was in hospital, very critical. He passed away the next day, Al Fatehah.

Additional security guards were asked to become plain-clothes security. Every pair of security guards were issued with walkie-talkies. We closed the office, and all office staff were deployed.

PM arrived at 4.45 PM, 15 minutes earlier that his ETA. But we were ready. I felt the clock was ticking very slowly, and at last it was time for PM to leave. What a day!
