“The IGP prioritises the welfare of both active and retired officers, understanding that timely and effective pension administration is essential for maintaining morale and the integrity of the institution. While efforts have been made to enhance the pension system, the IGP recognises the significance of constructive feedback in facilitating necessary improvements.
“In light of this, the IGP assures all officers—both current and retired—and their families of the Force’s unwavering commitment to enhancing welfare and creating a system that respects their sacrifices.
