Over 1,000 Emergency Calls Related to Floods Received in Pasir Mas, with 114 Identified as False

The Pasir Mas Police Headquarters received more than 1,000 emergency calls concerning flood assistance requests. Of these, 114 calls were determined to be false alarms, prompting authorities to issue a stern warning against such irresponsible actions.
False Calls Disrupt Rescue Efforts

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay highlighted that these false calls led to the dispatch of rescue teams to reported locations, only to find no individuals or property in need of assistance. This diversion of resources causes unnecessary inconvenience and hampers the ability to respond to genuine emergencies.
Legal Action and Penalties for False Calls

Authorities are prepared to take action against individuals making false emergency calls under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. The penalties for such offences can include a fine of up to RM50,000, a jail term of up to one year, or both.
Police Preparedness for Future Flood Waves

In preparation for potential future flood waves, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has activated its Disaster Response Team (DRT) and its associated assets. The Southeast Zone DRT Base of the 8th Brigade of the General Operations Force (PGA), along with the incident area control post (PKTK) in Pasir Mas, remains active and ready to coordinate rescue operations.
