Floods: Army has been preparing to face monsoon since October, says Gen Zamrose


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Army has been laying the groundwork since October to face the north-east monsoon, as well as appointing commanders in each state to organise the movement of troops and assets to provide assistance during the flood season.

Chief of Army Gen Tan Sri Zamrose Mohd Zain said for exigencies in Kelantan and Terengganu, for example, troops and various assets have already been arranged to move under the 8th Infantry Brigade and if that is not enough, additional assistance will be implemented.
