SMART unit still relevant


PETALING JAYA: A mechanism to retain the Special Malaysian Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) is being looked at to ensure that the personnel do not have to return to their respective units, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said it was imperative that the specially trained team, with their valuable skills, continue their current service instead of returning to their agencies, such as the police, Fire and Rescue Department, and Armed Forces.
