Terengganu police chief Mohd Khairi Khairuddin said the number of participants this year is expected to nearly double, exceeding 100,000 people compared to 60,000 last year.
He said the officers and personnel will be stationed at selected locations across the state to prevent any congestion that could disrupt the daily activities of the public.
'A total of 600 officers and personnel will be stationed at selected locations, not only in Kuala Terengganu but also in other districts, including Besut, Marang, Dungun, Setiu and Kemaman.
'To ensure safety, the Motorcycle Patrol Unit and Mobile Patrol Vehicle Unit will carry out patrols in lodging areas and homestays,' he said at a press conference at the Terengganu police contingent headquarters here today.
Mohd Khairi said three fatal accidents involving participants were reported while 89 summonses were issued for various offences at last year's RXZ Members 6.0 event.
In addition, there were three cases of fraud involving non-existent homestays, with total losses amounting to RM1,400.
He reminded all RXZ Members 7.0 participants to comply with traffic regulations and not to cause public disturbance by making excessive noise in public areas.
'Participants are advised not to bring prohibited items. Police will constantly monitor the situation,' he added.

Zara Qairina probe uncovers elements of bullying, neglect and sexual harassment, Parliament told
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — The investigation into the tragic death of Form One student Zara Qairina Mahathir centres on three key elements, namely bullying, neglect, and sexual harassment, according to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. He said the police had also submitted their investigation papers to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) after taking statements from 195 witnesses. 'I do not rule out the presence of bullying. From the conclusions we have drawn, bullying is evident. Schools should be safe places for our children, and school administrators must understand that any such incidents must be addressed transparently. That is why our investigation is focused on the element of bullying. 'There was also an element of neglect as the girl (Zara) had previously made complaints to the school. So we investigated that, as well as the element of sexual harassment,' he said during a ministerial briefing after Question Time at Dewan Rakyat today. The minister said that it is now up to the AGC to determine whether charges will be filed, while ensuring that the inquest proceedings serve as a transparent platform for all parties to present evidence openly. — Bernama

Cops seize nearly 3,000 ATM cards, arrest five ‘runners' in Subang Jaya loan shark syndicate bust
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — Police have arrested five men believed to be 'collectors' and 'runners' for an unlicensed moneylending syndicate, or 'along', and seized 2,924 ATM cards. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (JSJK) director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said that following surveillance in Subang Jaya, police arrested three local men who were acting suspiciously in front of a bank on August 8. He said subsequent checks at the premises where the men lived and worked in Subang Jaya led to the arrest of two more individuals suspected of involvement in the same activities. 'Investigations revealed that the individuals were working as 'collectors' and 'runners,' tasked with withdrawing money from ATM cards for an along (loan shark) syndicate,' he told a press conference today. Rusdi said a search of the premises uncovered ATM cards, RM119,997 in cash, 14 mobile phones, as well as various loan agreement documents and personal details of individuals. He said those arrested were paid monthly wages of between RM2,500 and RM3,500 to withdraw cash using ATM cards, and had been working with the syndicate for periods ranging from six months to two years. 'They received instructions from their supervisors via the Telegram application. Each day, withdrawals ranged between RM5,000 and RM8,000, after which the money was packaged and sent to a designated address through a delivery service company,' he said. According to Rusdi, further inspection of the seized ATM cards revealed that 18 of the account numbers linked to the investment fraud did not exist. He said all suspects, aged between 26 and 36, were released on police bail on Aug 12, and the case is being investigated under Section 424 of the Penal Code and Section 5(2) of the Moneylenders Act 1951. The police are now working to trace the owners of the ATM cards as well as the masterminds behind the unlicensed moneylending syndicate, he added. — Bernama
