: The Melaka Fire and Rescue Department has received four new 4WD vehicles worth about RM450,000 to smoothen rescue operations in the state, especially ahead of the Northeast Monsoon season.
“This is part of our preparation to face the Northeast Monsoon, expected to occur from November. However, in Melaka, it may come earlier in October based on the flood situation last year,” he told reporters after flagging off the Melaka JBPM Kembara Merdeka ‘Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign’ convoy here today.
Commenting on the Kembara Merdeka convoy, he said it involved 47 4WD vehicles from Melaka JBPM and around 100 participants from the Melaka Truckers Club.
