The prime minister, through his latest posting on Twitter, also conveyed his condolences to Mohd Azuan's family.
"Condolences to the family of Lance Corporal Mohd Azuan Abdullah who was killed while on duty. Those responsible must be brought to justice," he said.
In the 1.15pm incident yesterday, Mohd Azuan, 25, a member of the Kerian district police headquarters' Motorcycle Patrol Unit, died at the scene when the motorcycle he was on, was rammed by a robber's car while his colleague was seriously injured.
The incident occurred at the 10th Mile towards Alor Pongsu, near Parit Buntar, when both policemen were after robbery suspects in a car before it rammed into their motorcycles from the back.
Perak police chief Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani today said the case had been classified as murder as the action by the criminals was deliberate.
