Made in Malaysia: Temerloh Fire and Rescue Department officers ferrying the villagers to an evacuation centre in Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampong Batu Kapur, Mentakab.

TEMERLOH: After experiencing difficulty in rescuing flood victims in 2014, the Mentakab Fire and Rescue Department here has come up with an innovative way to transport rescue boats to the water using a self-made floating trailer.

Its chief Mohd Kamarudin Mohd Saufi said most rescue work during the floods involved transporting victims to safer grounds or to relief centres.
