PENANG police will now patrol busy streets using cool electric bicycles. Penang police chief Comm Datuk Wira Chuah Ghee Lye said they received seven e-bicycles costing RM25,760 from three private companies as part of their corporate social responsibilities. “The e-bicycles can help us monitor popular tourist areas and busy roads with ease compared to bigger and motorised vehicles. “The Penang Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department will send a monthly assessment report to Bukit Aman,” he said. “With the e-bicycle, our cops can pedal manually and switch to the e-bicycle mode when needed, especially going uphill,” he said.
