JOHOR: The Fire Services Act 1988 (Act 341) is expected to be amended to allow the volunteer teams for the Fire and Rescue Department to be registered and supervised by them.

Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar said the suggestion for the amendment was being reviewed by the Attorney-General’s office and set to be debated during the next Parliament sitting.
