KUALA LUMPUR: Perhaps it isn’t too far-fetched to imagine that the Gan family would greet each other with a salute. Deputy Supt (Rtd) Gan Kim Chon, who comes from a family of 11 siblings, was the first to join the police force. “Life was difficult in the early days, so whenever there was a government post, we would give it a shot,” said Kim Chon. His mother was the sole breadwinner, so Kim Chon stepped up to help put food on the table. On Chinese participation, or the lack of it, in the police force, Choon Hong, who was temporarily attached to the recruitment wing in 2014, said that she was aware of this.
