Some 600 police officers and personnel will be deployed to control traffic flow and ensure security during the RXZ Members 7.0 event at the Gong Badak Motor Circuit in Kuala Nerus on August 22 and 23.
Terengganu Police Chief Mohd. Khairi Khairuddin said this year’s attendance is expected to exceed 100,000 participants, compared to 60,000 last year.
He stated that the involved officers and personnel will be stationed at selected locations across the state to prevent congestion that could disrupt public daily activities.
“A total of 600 police officers and personnel will be stationed at selected locations, not only in Kuala Terengganu but also in all districts, including Besut, Marang, Dungun, Setiu, and Kemaman.
“To ensure safety, the Motorcycle Patrol Unit (URB) and Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) Unit will conduct patrols in accommodation areas and homestays,” he said during a press conference at the Terengganu Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK) here today.
Mohd. Khairi said last year, three fatal accidents involving RXZ Members 6.0 participants were recorded, while 89 summonses were issued for various offenses.
Additionally, there were three cases of fraud involving non-existent homestays, resulting in losses totaling RM1,400.
In this regard, he reminded all RXZ Members 7.0 participants to comply with traffic rules and avoid causing noise in public areas that could disturb public order.
“Participants of the gathering are advised not to bring prohibited items, as the police are constantly monitoring suspicious activities… Also, ensure that the booked accommodations are legitimate to avoid falling victim to fake homestay scams,” he said.
