Kedah Fire Dept says ‘Bomba’ vehicle allegedly caught running red light is not its own

ALOR SETAR, Oct 28 — The Kedah Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) has confirmed that a private vehicle bearing the word “Bomba” and equipped with a beacon light is neither an official department vehicle nor one belonging to any Volunteer Fire Brigade (PBS) in the state.

In a statement today, the department said it was aware of a video circulating on social media showing the vehicle and that further action was being taken to address the misuse of the department’s identity.

“The Kedah JBPM takes a serious view of any unauthorised use of the department’s identity, which could mislead the public and undermine the image and credibility of the fire service,” the statement said.

The department also urged the public not to speculate or disseminate unverified information that could cause confusion.

It expressed appreciation to members of the public who had provided information on the matter, stressing that public cooperation was essential to ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of information circulated.

“The Kedah JBPM remains committed to upholding the integrity and professionalism of the department while maintaining public trust in the fire service,” it added.

Previously, a five-second video went viral on social media showing a private vehicle bearing the word “Bomba” and fitted with a warning light allegedly nearly colliding with several other vehicles after running a red light in Sungai Petani. — Bernama
