PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is sending teams of rescue and relief personnel to earthquake-hit central Myanmar, as top leaders pledged to also extend help to Thailand, which reported casualties in its capital Bangkok.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) said the government will send Malaysia’s Special Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) to the Mandalay region in Myanmar, where the 7.7-magnitude quake had struck on the afternoon of March 28.
