Electric bikes to strengthen Kelantan GOF border patrols
KOTA BARU: All-terrain tactical assault e-bikes (ATEBs) will help the General Operations Force to strengthen border surveillance and make operations along the Malaysia-Thailand border more effective.
KOTA BARU: The General Operations Force (GOF) is set to bolster border surveillance along the Malaysia-Thailand frontier by deploying all-terrain tactical assault e-bikes (ATEBs) to enhance mobility and effectiveness of operations, according to Senior Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Radzi Hussain, commander of the GOF Southeast Brigade.
The motorcycles, capable of navigating challenging terrain, will augment the three GOF battalions engaged in Op Taring Wawasan Kelantan, covering approximately 96km of the border. Ahmad Radzi stressed that the new assets would bolster border operations, particularly in hard-to-reach areas, and aid in curbing smuggling, illegal crossings and cross-border crimes.
The exact allocation of the ATEBs to the Southeast Brigade remains undisclosed. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail revealed that the electric tactical bikes would be distributed to states bordering Thailand, namely Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Perak, Sabah and Sarawak, aiming to augment the capabilities of police personnel involved in GOF operations.
