Search and rescue personnel in Ranau, Sabah, following the earthquake which hit in June 2015.
“This will cut down the response time drastically as opposed to having helicopters flown out of Miri to address SAR operations in Sabah,” he told FMT. Housing and local government ministry secretary-general Mohammad Mentek previously said Sabah and Sarawak would continue to share the Miri-based helicopters.
The previous government had promised two new helicopters each for Sabah and Sarawak after the 6.0-magnitude earthquake which claimed 18 lives on Mount Kinabalu in June 2015.
