In a statement on Tuesday (June 10), Besraya announced that the drill, supported by the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA), was to assess the preparedness level of Besraya staff, particularly the toll operations department, in facing disasters.
According to the statement, the exercise also aims to test the functionality of support tools and toll system equipment, as well as the effective activation of the emergency response procedure.
