The Malaysian Civil Defence Force (MCDF) is set to renew several of its assets to ensure rescue operations can be carried out more effectively, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Special Functions) Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof (above) said.
He said a proposal on the matter has been submitted to the government.
"In an effort to improve the performance in assisting and managing disasters with other agencies, MCDF will add or change some vehicles, which involves the purchase of four-wheel-drive vehicles as well as new ambulances for use by personnel within this year," he told Bernama after a meeting with the director and personnel of the Pahang MCDF in Genting Highlands this evening.
Commenting on the acquisition of helicopters, Mohd Redzuan said his department was looking at whether to make a purchase or rent from established suppliers in Malaysia.
"We are discussing with established suppliers in Malaysia to get the best possible value for the services required," he said.
