The two pictures of the Morris vehicle which are shown on this page have recently been received from Malay and depict the type of vehicle used by the Perak police for rounding up robbers and quelling riots. A complement of 18 is carried-, aml–the men are accommodated in a body somewhat after the style of an Irish jaunting car ; they are so accommodated that they can readily jump off the vehicle when making a raid, instead of being more or less imprisoned, as would be the ease if an ordinary body were used. The driver is protected from stone throwing by an expanded-metal detachable frame.
We understand that this Morris 1-ton chassis has stood up to its arduous work in good style. The special police body with which the -chassis is fitted was designed and constructed 'by Malayan Motors, Singapore.
