SEREMBAN – Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (APM) Negeri Sembilan bersiap sedia bagi menghadapi kemungkinan banjir atau ribut berikutan berlakunya peralihan monsun di negara ini.

Pengarahnya, Leftenan Kolonel Mohd Syukri Madnor berkata, terdapat sebanyak 113 lokasi hotspot banjir di negeri ini yang mana daerah Seremban mencatatkan bilangan paling tinggi iaitu 34 kawasan dari lembangan Sungai Linggi.

Menurutnya, pihaknya sentiasa mendapatkan maklumat daripada Jabatan Meteorologi berkaitan perkembangan cuaca dan situasi air sungai dengan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS).

“Dalam tempoh dua minggu ini, walaupun cuaca pada waktu pagi adalah baik, tapi apabila petang biasanya akan berlaku hujan.

“Apa yang kita gerakkan ialah apabila terdapat laporan di peringkat bencana negeri, kita akan buat pemantauan terlebih dahulu terutama di lokasi hotspot ini sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian pada Isnin.

Beliau berkata, APM akan berwaspada sekiranya bacaan hujan dari Jabatan Meteorologi menunjukkan bacaan 60 millimeter padu dalam tempoh satu jam.

Selain itu, katanya, dengan keadaan cuaca yang tidak menentu yang turut mengakibatkan angin kencang, pihaknya turut bersedia sekiranya berlaku kejadian ribut yang mengakibatkan kejadian pokok tumbang.

“Kita menasihatkan orang ramai untuk sentiasa peka terhadap keadaan cuaca ketika musim hujan dan sentiasa mengawasi kanak-kanak bagi mengelak sebarang kejadian tidak diingini berlaku,” katanya.

The Prime Minister Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin bin Haji Muhammad Yassin welcomed the “public-private-partnership” between the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (Angkatan Pertahanan Malaysia, “APM”) and Nexgram Holdings Berhad (“Nexgram”) in launching the TracAPM Digital System here today. He said this is welcomed at a time when we are rebuilding the nation’s economy and social wellbeing. The Prime Minister said this high technology initiative is in line with the government’s MyDigital initiative launched recently.

“TracAPM Digital System has been tested in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (“KLIA”) and will be used to digitally to process travellers at the KLIA entry point and can also be used to verify Vaccine Passports to be issued by Malaysia and other countries.”

“The government highly appreciates this CSR initiative which shows the goodwill and readiness of the private sector in supporting the government in facing the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am sure this digital technology will be of great assistance to the APM front-liners in safeguarding our national borders.

The TracAPM Digital System comes with the “APM Trac and Trace”, “APM Geofencing” and “APM Watch”, connected in real time to Tracvirus E-Cert International Protocol (“Tracvirus”). The “APM Trac and Trace” includes Queue Management System to facilitate and ease traffic for health testings and quarantine processes. It is also ready to facilitate registration biometrics and facial recognitions technology.

“APM Geofencing” comes with a user-approved GPS and IP-Ping technology for real- time social care. The “APM Watch” AI data science system is ready for APM’s future deployment of resources including man power and high-tech facilities such as drone and satellite surveillance for precision outbreak responses.

Travellers coming to Malaysia can register for the “SafeTravelPass” online athttps://safetravelpass.tracvirus.com.my. This digital pass can be verified by the TracAPM system at all airports and borders including the KLIA upon arrival. TracAPM officers are right on the first desk at all arrivals, and is connected live to Tracvirus which

can unify, read and verify the digital health certificates to facilitate safe, fast, and convenient travel experience.

The SafeTravelPass App contains all the traveller details necessary for safe and efficient travel. It informs and records travellers on what tests, vaccines, and other measures they require prior to travel, details on where they can get tested, and, most importantly, the ability to share their tests and vaccination results in a digitally authentic and verifiable protocol. Traveller privacy and personal data are protected under a secured system synonymous to blockchain technology and can be localised in each country.

Government agencies and private merchants can integrate their processes and services to the TracAPM Digital System, offering travellers International standard of a digital-tech one-stop travel experience.

APM will implement and integrate the TracAPM Digital System with Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Immigration Department Malaysia, the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) and other relevant agencies to ensure secure and safe travel in and out of Malaysia.

Kerajaan cadang bina kompleks APM – Harian Metro 24 Mac 2021
Civil Defence Force gets more ‘bite’ – The Star 24 March 2021

SEPANG, Feb 21 — The Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) will use the TracVirus application (app) to obtain data and monitor all individuals entering the country, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Special Functions), Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof.

He said the use of the application developed by local company, Tri-G Technologies Sdn Bhd would also speed up the entry process of those who had previously filled in the form manually including health information such as Covid-19 screening results.

He said the application would go through a two-week trial period starting tomorrow at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to check its effectiveness before being expanded to other points of entry, thus encouraging travel bubbles.

“This system can track the position of individuals in real time, in contrast to the MySejahtera application which shows the history of a person’s last journey,” he said after reviewing APM’s security operations at KLIA, here, today.

Redzuan said he had also discussed the matter with Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, especially on the data-sharing aspect to facilitate APM’s work.

He said the app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and App Store, and can be used in eight languages—Malay, English, Mandarin, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian and Arabic.

On APM’s operation at KLIA, Redzuan said the team placed a total of 44 staff members daily, whose role, among others, was to inform visitors about the entry process at the country’s main point of entry. — Bernama

MUHAMMAD AMNAN HIBRAHIM | | 21 Februari 2021 

SEPANG – Angkatan Pertahanan Awam Malaysia (APM) bakal menggunakan aplikasi TracVirus bagi mempermudah dan mempercepatkan kemasukan individu yang masuk ke Malaysia dari luar negara.

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Tugas-tugas Khas), Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof berkata, aplikasi sedemikian akan turut mempertingkatkan kebolehannya untuk menjejaki individu yang menggunakan aplikasi tersebut.

Katanya, percubaan bagi aplikasi itu akan dilakukan di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) selama dua minggu bermula pada Isnin.

“Esok (22 Februari 2021), insya-ALLAH kita (APM) akan bekerjasama dengan pihak yang membangunkan satu sistem secara percuma.

“Ia boleh membantu APM untuk memantau semua pergerakan orang yang masuk ke Malaysia. Mana mereka pergi kita tahu.

“Sekiranya mereka ini disaring di sini, antara tugas APM dengan data yang ada, kita boleh memantau secara langsung (mengikut masa sebenar),” katanya ketika meninjau operasi keselamatan APM di sini pada Ahad.

Menurutnya, sekiranya berjaya, aplikasi berkenaan akan diperluaskan untuk digunakan di tempat lain bagi menggalakkan gelembung perjalanan (travel bubble).

Pada masa sama, Mohd Redzuan berkata, APM telah pun mengadakan perbincangan bersama Kementerian Kesihatan bagi mempermudahkan perkongsian data kepada pasukan tersebut.

Aplikasi TracVirus akan memudahkan pelawat yang sebelum ini perlu mengisi borang secara manual termasuk borang keputusan saringan Covid-19.

Selain itu, aplikasi berkenaan boleh dimuat turut di Google Play Store dan Apps Store serta digunakan dalam lapan bahasa iaitu Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Inggeris, Mandarin, Thailand, Korea, Jepun, Indonesia dan Arab.

ALOR GAJAH, Dec 6 — The Civil Defence Force (APM) plans to recruit 20,000 new volunteer members next year to further increase its ability to respond to disasters.

APM Chief Commissioner Datuk Roslan Wahab said the recruitment of new members would focus on communities where disasters happen so that they can provide immediate aid in case of any emergencies before further aid from various security agencies arrive.

“The new membership drive will be focused at communities in disaster-prone areas, such as floods, landslides and storms, and to train these new members to be ready to face various emergencies in their area.

“After all, they are more likely to know better what is happening in the areas where they are from,” he said during a press conference after visiting the Alor Gajah District Civil Defence office today.

Also present was Melaka APM director Lt Col (PA) Effendy Ali.

Roslan said those who are interested to sign up as a APM volunteer for the next year’s new intake can visit the APM website at www.civildefence.gov.my or the nearest APM office.

Meanwhile, he said APM received an allocation of RM25 million to replace its aging ambulances in stages beginning next year.

For a start, RM5 million will be spent to purchase 20 new ambulances, while RM10 million will be allocated for the same purpose in 2022 and 2023 respectively, he said. — Bernama
