ACP Shariman said the MMEA officer, who was in Langkawi on assignment at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2023 , also contacted his wife through WhatsApp at 5.15pm. He said the Royal Malaysia Police, Fire and Rescue Department, MMEA and the Malaysia Civil Defence Force - with 23 officers and 68 other personnel - as well as 15 civilians familiar with the Telaga Tujuh area in the operation.
