KUALA LUMPUR, 26 June 2019: The ultimate role in VTREC is to reduce the rate of vehicle theft nationwide. The collaboration and combination of PDRM’s efforts with VTREC has not only made positive impacts, it also supports the recent Prime Minister’s call for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to re-create the objectives and value of the work of ‘Malaysia Incorporated’, the cooperation between the public with private parties.
