Kuala terengganu: Police reminded the public not to gather or conduct any recreational activities along the coast during the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) season. Kuala Terengganu District Police Chief ACP Azli Mohd Noor said this follows the turbulent sea conditions and large waves that have hit Terengganu in recent days.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, ACP Azli Mohd Noor highlighted that popular locations such as Batu Buruk Beach and Pandak Beach in Kuala Terengganu, as well as Seberang Takir Beach and Tok Jembal Beach in Kuala Nerus, are among those attracting the public. He emphasized that the current conditions are unsuitable and pose significant dangers for any beach activities. Large waves are also bringing along stones, logs, and debris, increasing the risk of injury. The public is thus advised to refrain from engaging in water activities throughout the MTL season.

Additionally, Azli urged the public to adhere to all warning signs and red flags installed by the Kuala Terengganu City Council (MBKT) along high-risk beaches. In the event of worsening weather, he advised residents to stay alert for any evacuation orders or safety warnings issued by authorities.

Parents were also cautioned to supervise their children, particularly in low-lying areas susceptible to flooding, due to concerns over drowning incidents or individuals being caught in strong currents. The police will be increasing patrols in these high-risk areas periodically to ensure public safety.
