Among those badly affected were lowland areas in Kampong Rampayoh where CES, Sp Bn RBLF and 3Bn RBLF personnel were deployed to provide assistance.
Continued mobility support has been provided to the residents by fixing the eroded roads that connect the main road and the bridge at the village. CES, Sp Bn RBLF were deployed to build a Medium Girder Bridge (MGB) with the assistance of the Assault Pioneer Platoon, 3Bn RBLF (AP 3Bn RBLF) as a temporary bridge while waiting for the road to be completely repaired. Other aids rendered included the building of the handle post as an alternative route for the use of the pedestrians in the village.
Such HADR operations are a true reflection of the RBLF’s continued commitment in substantially supporting the National Disaster Management Centre, as the nation’s lead agency in disaster response, as well as other relevant agencies in rapidly and effectively alleviating such situations. In addition to this, such operations also contribute to fostering good civil-military relations between the RBLF, civilian agencies as well as members of the community.
