"The changes in the weather at the moment indicate that the monsoon season is about to arrive, so all personnel have been instructed to always be ready, including ensuring that all assets and logistics are in working condition," he said on Tuesday (Nov 7).
"We are always ready and wait for instructions from the leadership of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and related agencies," he said, adding that preparations also involved freezing the leave of police officers and personnel.
