JOHOR BARU: Local authorities should put a temporary stop to recreational activities in high-risk areas such as mountains, hills, rivers and beaches, because of the monsoon season, says the Fire and Rescue Department director-general.

“We understand that it’s the year-end holiday now, so many families are planning for leisurely activities in certain areas, but we hope that such plans be deferred for a while as a precaution,” said Datuk Seri Mohammad Hamdan Wahid.
