Two policemen who were allegedly caught sleeping at their police base in Mak Mandin, Prai, have been transferred to the 'Bilik Gerakan' (control room) pending investigations.

The duo will be transfered to the north Seberang Perai district police headquarters by tomorrow, said Penang police chief senior DCP Abdul Rahim Hanafi.

Abdul Rahim said the duo will be transferred following a photograph of them sleeping in their police beat base going viral on social media.

“Disciplinary action will be taken against the duo.

“We have opened an investigation paper against them for sleeping while on duty,” he said in a statement.
