This also ensures that all available assets are in good condition,’ he told reporters after closing the MTL Preparedness Training at Pantai Irama Bachok here today.
A total of 93 registered volunteer personnel from the districts of Bachok, Kota Bharu, Tumpat, and Pasir Puteh participated in the training, which was held over three days,
