LANGKAWI: The Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) proved its mettle during an exercise in which its high-powered amphibious boats successfully made trips, at a high-speed, through a storm from the Pekan Rabu jetty on Langkawi Island to Pulau Payar, about 35km away.
During a recent day-long marine rescue exercise, APM members, who were trained for marine search and rescue efforts, were thrown into the rough sea where they brought “flood victims” to safety at the marine park.
