More than 1,000 emergency calls received regarding locations requiring assistance, 114 were found to be false
: The Royal Malaysia Police will take action against individuals who make false emergency calls related to floods.
He said such actions were irresponsible and disruptive to authorities, who often arrive at the reported rescue locations only to find no one or no property requiring assistance. “The penalty for making false calls includes a fine of up to RM50,000 or one year of imprisonment, or both. Please stop this practice as it causes unnecessary inconvenience to others,” he told a press conference after an incident area control post flood briefing at the Repek Police Station by Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat here today.
