999? Not the emergency number to call.

If you there is an emergency should you be calling the police or a telephone exchange line? In Malaysia, if you dial 999 for support, what you will get is Telekom's telephonist before your call is transferred to the police.

If response time is of utmost importance to you in your dire situation, dial Rakancop Hotline instead. For those in the state of Selangor the number to call is 03-2052 9999. If you are in Kualau Lumpur, call 03-2115 9999.

Or you can SMS 32728 as follows:

Key in POLIS (type in the State you are in) and the emergency state you are in.

If you would like a list of the emergency contacts for other states, call Careline at 03-5569 2840 to find out where you can go to get their give aways, such as, tags and stickers. I got my sticker from Hai-O chain store in Bandar Sungai Long.

Read an update of "999" saga to see if it is off or on again.
