MMEA using VR tech at defence expo to give visitors a taste of their work


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) will display an infotainment concept of its operations during the Defence Services Asia (DSA) and National Security (NatSec) Asia 2024 exhibitions.

Acting MMEA director-general Vice Admiral (Maritime) Datuk Saiful Lizan Ibrahim said the infotainment concept would give visitors to the agency's exhibition booth, a chance to feel the experience of being an MMEA personnel.

"Visitors will be able to feel as if they are on a forced boarding operation on a boat as well as being on a search and rescue mission by air using the winching method.

"Such experiences are available for visitors through virtual reality," he said after monitoring the preparation for MMEA's exhibition booth at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre here on Sunday (May 5).

Vice Admiral Saiful Lizan said it was the third time MMEA was joining the exhibition.

"We are also showcasing several ship models as well as our air assets this year," he said.

The MMEA exhibition booth would also showcase the agency's Special Task and Rescue team, complete with their black MultiCam combat uniform and various weapons such as the HK416 assault rifle, HK UMP submachine gun and the HK SFP9-SF pistol, he said.

"We are taking part in the exhibition to portray our technological capabilities as a security agency.

"It is also a chance for officers and personnel to build relations with other organisations within the security industry," he said.

The DSA and NatSec Asia 2024 exhibitions will be held from Monday (May 6) till Thursday (May 9).
