“In 2020 and 2021, many have retired but we cannot recruit new officers due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” he told reporters at the Aidiladha sacrificial ceremony here today.
With the recruitment of new members and officers, Mohammad Hamdan said there are a total of 15,300 firefighters stationed at 332 fire and rescue stations nationwide.
