Promotions for fat Malaysian police officers frozen


Obesity in the 86,000 strong police force was "not serious" but officers would be required to participate in marching drills at least once a month, the reports said, citing Kamaruddin Mohd Ali, a senior police official.

Officers will only be considered for promotion if they can complete a 2.4-kilometre run within an unspecified time limit, the reports said.
