Terengganu Police Mobilises 1,327 Police Personnel To Assist Flood Operations

CHUKAI Nov 26 (Bernama) -- Terengganu Police have mobilised a total of 1,327 personnel and officers to assist in flood operations in the state throughout the Northeast Monsoon period which has already begun.

Terengganu Deputy Police Chief ACP Suffian Sulaiman said the total number involves 130 officers, 1,013 personnel, and 64 civil servants.

He also stated that 120 members from the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU), General Operations Force (PGA), and Marine Police Force (PPM) are also involved in assisting with the flood disaster operations.

"This step was taken to ensure the smooth running of operations to assist flood-affected victims throughout Terengganu," he told reporters after conducting a working visit to the Kemaman District Police Headquarters (IPD) here today in the presence of Kemaman District Police Chief Supt Mohd Razi Rosli.

Suffian said leave for all their personnel and officers has also been frozen throughout the Northeast Monsoon, except for emergency cases.

Meanwhile, he advised residents living in flood-prone areas to immediately evacuate to temporary evacuation centers (PPS) if instructed by the authorities.

"In addition, the public is reminded not to treat the flood as a 'water festival' by bringing family members to wade through the floodwaters to prevent unwanted incidents from occurring," he said.
