LABUAN: The Peace Lady Unit was set up on July 1 under the NKRA tasked with approaching women to be more alert on security threats in their surrounding areas.
Speaking at the Peace Lady program at the police headquarters here yesterday, district deputy police chief, DSP Douglas Taong said the members of Peace Lady comprised women police officers and personnel.
“The appointed police officers and personnel will go to the ground to approach women especially housewives to be the police’s ‘ears’ and ‘eyes’ to ensure their environment is free from any crime activity.
“The housewives’ role is now really important and they can be the transformation agents for the community.
“They are now not only perceived as those only handle household matters, but also capable of carrying their social obligation in terms of security,” he said.
He hoped that all the people here would understand the purpose and role played by the Peace Lady and it should be spread to all housewives in Labuan.
Present to officiate at the program was Labuan Member of Parliament, Rozman Isli. Also present were Senator Datuk Yunus Kurus and the deputy director of Labuan Women Development Office, Maslen Hj Baser.
