The ''Kor Polis Tentera DiRaja'' (English: Royal Military Police Corps) is the military police branch of the Malaysian Army. Referred to as the "Redcaps" like their British counterpart or, more popularly, known as "MPs", the ''Kor Polis Tentera DiRaja'' keep discipline within the Army ranks and ensure security at Malaysian Army installations. == History == At the end of world War II, Malaya was in a precarious situation. The civil police was in tatters and the 2 battalions of the Malay Regiment has been disbanded by the Japanese when Singapore fell in 1942 and not to be reformed until 1948. When British sent Forces to Malaya at the end of World War II, Military Police units of the Indian Army played a major role in assisting the civil authorities enforcing peace and order in Malaya. On 4 December 1950, during the early years of the Malayan Emergency, 9 Malay Regiment soldiers were chosen to form Malay Regiment Military Police Section and perform Provost duties within the regiment. They were stationed at Kem Segenting at Port Dickson. On 12 November 1953, the Malay Regiment Military Police (enlarged from the previously one section strength) was transferred to the British Royal Military Police administration and transferred to Taiping, Perak, and the Military Police Company was formed, under the command of Captain Thomas Michael Dillon-White. Apart from performing provost duties, the Military Police Company assisted civil authorities in keeping public order. The Military Police Company moved to Kuala Lumpur on 29 March 1957 and underwent a name change to the Federation Military Police. And in July 1957, the company was moved to ''Kem Imphal'' in Kuala Lumpur. With the formation of Malaysia, the unit was called the Malaysian Military Police Corps. The corps was bestowed the royal "''DiRaja''" title on 7 June 1997, by Tuanku Jaafar Tunku Abdul Rahman, then Yang di-Pertuan Agong, henceforth bearing the ''DiRaja'' title in its name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kor Polis Tentera DiRaja (Malaysia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
