With the theme “United Against Vehicle Theft”, this mini-campaign serves as a crucial platform to advocate for shifts in the behaviour of vehicle owners to keep their vehicles properly and securely. According to YBrs Puan Mas Tina Abdul Hamid, VTREC Co-ordinator “Correspondingly with the theme, it is not the responsibility of one party to prevent vehicle theft. To prevent vehicle theft, we cannot simply depend and put all the blame on authorities. Thus, this campaign is to encourage the community to have behaviour change and to take proper action to ensure the safety of their vehicles and others while preventing vehicle theft in their community.”

She also mentioned that “The PDRM-VTREC Vehicle Theft the Public Awareness Mini Campaign is to expose to the public how to protect their vehicle from being the victims of vehicle theft. Vehicles are considered as our assets that have always been used especially when going to work or school and to do whatever we wish to do with it. Taking note and implementing the importance of keeping our vehicles safe can bring significant outcomes in ensuring our vehicles safe from criminal targets”.
