PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim attended a special screening of Sheriff Narko Integriti at IOI City Mall here, tonight.
The prime minister arrived at 8.20 pm.
Present at the screening were Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil and the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) chairman Tan Sri Dr Ismail Bakar.
The special screening was organised by the EAIC, in collaboration with Skop Productions and Astro Shaw.
The special screening was in conjunction with the ERAT (Encouraging Responsibility Accountability Trustworthiness) campaign, which aimed to raise awareness of integrity and efforts to combat misconduct such as corruption and abuse of power in the public service, particularly among law enforcement personnel.
According to Ismail, based on the principle of "No One Is Above The Law," which is the main message of the film, the enforcement and implementation of the law should be carried out fairly, without prejudice or compromise regardless of rank or power.
"As such, the civil servant, especially starting from the leaders, should be open and not cover up any wrongdoing within the organisation to enhance the credibility and public confidence in the public service."
The film was directed by Syafiq Yusof.
Jointly produced by Skop Productions and Astro Shaw, Sheriff tells the story of Sheriffuddin Hussein alias Sheriff, a tough police officer from the Integrity Department whose duty it is to combat corruption in the police force.
He meets a young and idealistic police officer Nazri who works in the Narcotics Department and is investigating a series of brutal murders committed by a mysterious man known as the Meth Killer.
Nazri and Sheriff work together to uncover the killer as well as confront the ruthless drug kingpin, Tony.
In their mission to bring Tony and the killer to justice, Sheriff and Nazri are aided by no-nonsense female police officers Sha and Jane.
Sheriff stars Zul Ariffin, Syafiq Kyle, Datuk Aaron Aziz, Azira Shafinaz, Elizabeth Tan, Shaharuddin Thamby, Kodi Rasheed and Hazama Azmi.
