PUTRAJAYA: The Fire and Rescue Department is focusing on the implementation of the digitalisation agenda this year, including the construction of a centre of command, control, communications, computers and intelligent (C4i) system to enhance its level of efficiency.
The department's new director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad said they have received approval for the construction of the C4i system centre costing RM49mil.
He said they would also launch an e-premises system to enable the department to regulate all premises nationwide, adding that the system’s pilot project was actively being implemented.
"All premises will be registered under one roof and all management will be facilitated,” he said when met after the parade to welcome him as the new department director-general here on Wednesday (Jan 10).
Nor Hisham was appointed as the ninth director-general effective Tuesday (Jan 9), replacing Datuk Seri Abdul Wahab Mat Yasin, who retired last month.
Nor Hisham used to head several big-scale operations, including as senior operations commander for the search and rescue operation for the crashed helicopter in Sebuyau, Sarawak in May 2016 and National Emergency Management Committee (NEMC) operations director for floods in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Negri Sembilan in December 2021. – Bernama
