Firm action will be taken against individuals who fly drones during the new year eve celebration tomorrow night, said Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim.
He said the use of drones by the public during the celebration is not allowed and the police will act to kill a drone flown in the area of the celebration.
‘’A special police team will use a special device to jam or kill a drone which is flown by any individual in the area.
‘’So we seek the cooperation of the public against flying drones as it is an offence to do so and we do not want a collision of drones flown by members of the public with those belonging to the authorities.
“A drone can also fall on someone,’’ he told a media conference on road closures and traffic control during Ambang 2020 at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters.
