HULU DUNGUN: The Royal Malaysia Police are prepared to face the second wave of floods expected to begin this week, sats Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.
The Deputy Inspector-General of Police said that in preparation for the floods during this northeast monsoon season, his team has conducted a series of meetings at various levels with other rescue agencies to ensure quick and efficient actions are always implemented for the public's safety.
"We are always prepared to ensure swift action. Our readiness is certainly supported by other rescue agencies such as the Malaysian Civil Defence Force, Fire and Rescue Department, and the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF).
"We have completed numerous meetings concerning preparations at the Putrajaya, state and district levels," he told reporters at the Flood Victims' Aid Distribution Programme at the Kuala Jengai police station on Tuesday (Dec 10).
He added that if flood situations in certain areas are extremely severe, rescue members from other areas or states will be deployed.
"For instance, if the flood situation in Terengganu is extremely severe and urgent, we will deploy rescue personnel from Selangor.
"However, during the floods in the northeast monsoon period, we have only utilised the resources available in that state without involving other states," he concluded. – Bernama
