Asean Chair: 3-day security preparedness exercise at KLCC from today
PUTRAJAYA: The Asean-Malaysia Chair 2025 Security Training and Simulation is being held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) for three days starting today, according to the National Security Council (NSC). It said the session will involve comprehensive testing of the Emergency Action Plan based on NSC Directive No.18, namely the Policy and Mechanism for the Management and Handling of Terrorism Crises. It said the exercise comprises three phases, namely the Diplomat Mind Symposium today, covering preparation briefings and current inputs regarding the exercise, followed by the 'Table Top Exercise' (TTX) simulation discussion tomorrow before concluding on Wednesday with the 'Field Training Exercise' (FTX), involving simulation and demonstrations. "Throughout this exercise, especially on Wednesday, the public is advised to remain calm regarding the simulation implementation that will involve the movement of assets and security personnel around the KLCC area," it said in a statement today. It said the exercise is conducted to ensure all involved agencies are at the highest level of preparedness and coordination. NSC said the exercise is also following its move to activate the Crisis Management Team together with security agencies to strengthen national defence, security and public order throughout Malaysia's Asean 2025 chairmanship. Checks on the website found that among the Asean meetings to be held starting May 24 are the 19th Meeting of the Asean Coordinating Council Working Group on Timor-Leste's Asean Membership Application (ACCWG), the Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting and the Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Malaysia assumed the Asean Chairmanship on Jan 1 from Laos, with the theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability', reflecting the country's aspirations to build a united and prosperous Asean. This marks the fifth time Malaysia has held the Asean Chair after assuming the role in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015. Established on Aug 8, 1967, Asean currently consists of 10 Southeast Asian countries, namely Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, while Timor-Leste's full membership is still in process. – Bernama

TH, MAHB conduct evacuation drill at KLIA for Haj preparations
SEPANG: Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), in collaboration with Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), carried out an evacuation simulation at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) today to ensure smooth operations for this year's Haj pilgrimage. The exercise, involving 200 participants including TH staff, MAHB personnel, as well as security and medical teams from KLIA, aimed to prepare Haj pilgrims for potential emergencies or unforeseen incidents. TH Domestic Haj Operations (OHTA) deputy director Mohamed Ameen Abdul Wahab said the simulation was critical to ensuring that standard operating procedures and evacuation protocols are followed efficiently in the event of an emergency, particularly when pilgrims are gathered at KLIA before their departure. 'This training is part of the preparation for Haj staff, especially ahead of the first flight on April 29, which will carry 284 pilgrims to Saudi Arabia,' he said. Mohamed Ameen said the exercise also ensures readiness for emergencies, such as fires, natural disasters and crises, involving TH staff, MAHB personnel and other agencies. The drill followed the OHTA Emergency Action Plan and Aerodrome Emergency Plan (AEP), which outline emergency management protocols, involving KLIA's operational units, government agencies and airlines. TH also announced that similar evacuations will be held at other state Haj departure stations, including Sultan Mahmud International Airport in Kuala Terengganu, Sultan Ismail Petra Airport in Kota Bharu and Senai International Airport in Kulai. The final flight of Malaysian Haj pilgrims is scheduled for June 1, with the Day of Arafah expected to take place on Thursday, June 5.
