Rela's role important, not just to control traffic at functions, says Perlis Rela director

KANGAR: The role and duties of members of the People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) are important although some quarters may see it as trivial, says Perlis Rela director Ahmad Muazzan Shah Mohd Salleh.

Many regard the duty of Rela members as synonymous with controlling traffic at wedding receptions, night markets and other events, oblivious to the fact that the volunteer team has a bigger and more important role, which is to help maintain peace and the people’s well-being in the country.
