The commander of the Police Training Command and Home Team Academy's deputy chief executive Zuraidah Abdullah was promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police in a ceremony last Wednesday. The appointment will take effect on June 1.
The trailblazer is also chairman of the Malay Heritage Foundation and a member of the National Heritage Board.
