Cops beefing up security for Asean council meet


KUANTAN: Police will step up security ahead of next week’s 2025 Asean Inter-Parliamentary Assembly Advisory Council On Dangerous Drugs meeting.

Pahang police chief Comm Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said they are actively carrying out early preparations in terms of security so that the programme, which is scheduled to be held in Kuantan and Pekan, would proceed smoothly.

“We will ensure there are no hindrances when they hold the meeting as well as make sure everything is safe.

“If there is a need for road closures, they will be kept to a minimum and carried out in stages to ensure smooth traffic flow,” Comm Yahaya told reporters after attending an award ceremony at the Pahang police headquarters here yesterday, Bernama reported.

He added that security preparations would be further improved after today’s meeting with state Legislative Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin.
