SINGAPORE: The Singapore president has conferred the Meritorious Service Medal to the Royal Malaysian Police's special branch director, Ramli Sha'ari.
Singapore's Home Affairs Minister, Wong Kan Seng, presented the award to Mr Ramli on Tuesday.
The award is a recognition of Mr Ramli's outstanding role and commitment in developing the ties between the Malaysian Special Branch (MSB) and the Internal Security Department (ISD) of Singapore.
Under his leadership, the relationship between both sides has grown even closer, with substantive exchanges of counter-terrorism intelligence and joint operations against the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and other terrorism-related targets.
The close collaboration has resulted in the capture of a number of Singaporean JI fugitives in Malaysia. And among them is the Singapore JI leader Mas Selamat Kastari, who was recaptured in Johor in April following his escape from Singapore last year.
A statement from the Home Affairs Ministry said that MSB's counter-terrorism efforts and successes have helped to make Singapore and the region safer.
