Possibly the chassis is local made and it is operated by Malaysian Army Fire Services. At the background is the Condor armored vehicle. Hilmy post more TD fire appliances photos.
The Chassis is a Turkish One with Man engine. This unit is fabricated by CME Bhd.

Civil Defence usually have a wide scope of jobs including act like national guards during large scale disaster eg war. Bomba (fire) only concentrates on fire&rescue jobs.

In singapore they use civil defence why not fire and rescue? Are they prepare for the war?
i think our agencies should merge in one department like Singapore done, they merge fire rescue service with civil defence. so i think they can optimize man power permanent staf and volunteer, the ops. can be effectively in time war and time of peace
