Tracker dogs Denti and Frankie have been included in the search and rescue mission of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department for earthquake victims in southern Turkiye.
“The dogs are part of SMART, so they are ready to be deployed anywhere abroad,“ JBPM’s Tactical Operations Rescue Team of Malaysia chief commander Ismail Abd Ghani told reporters during the SAR mission send-off at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport here, tonight.Asked if Denti and Frankie could survive the 11-hour flight to Istanbul, he said it was not an issue with the dogs as they had been assessed for their ability to travel by air before their procurement.
On the first rescue team that has arrived in Gaziantep, Armizan said the team is now facing several formidable obstacles, namely the extreme weather at ground zero, logistics and transport coordination as well as geopolitical security factors. Mohd Firdaus said that although this is his first overseas assignment, he is determined to do his best for Malaysians.
Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in a press conference after chairing the Cabinet meeting today said Malaysia will also donate over US$2 million to Turkiye and Syria to help the earthquake victims in both countries.
