: The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department will deploy its air and sea assets in three zones -- east coast, north and south -- in Peninsular Malaysia as an early initiative to prepare for floods following the shift phase of the Northeast Monsoon which is expected to begin next month.

Its deputy director-general , Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad said for the east coast, his team will deploy assets at the Fire and Rescue Academy in Wakaf Tapai, Terengganu; north zone at Bandar Perda Fire and Rescue Station in Bukit Mertajam, Penang; and south zone at the Ayer Hitam BBP in Johor. He said the early deployment of assets to the three zones is a step to speed up the movement of rescue operations in the event of disasters, especially floods.
