He also said a support team from Bukit Aman was also sent to flood-affected areas tasked with locating and rescuing victims.
“At the moment, we have asked our men at states not affected by the floods to be on standby for any possibility,” he told a press conference after officiating at the Tactical Headquarters of the Marine Police Force (PPM) Kuala Kedah, Region 1 here yesterday.
Meanwhile, in a statement on the RMP official Facebook page, a team of officers and members of VAT 69 Commando, as well as the RMP ‘Tiger Platoon’ General Operations Team, were deployed to assist in the rescue operations in Selangor, the most badly affected state.
