We will try to convince the traffic police agency to supply us with as many as officers as possible. Albeit that, as a contingency plan, we will also be employing at least 80 RELA personnels to ensure the safety and smooth running of the event. I have spoken to the RELA officer to provide that many personnels and he has no problem with it (provided you have the $, each RELA costs Rm 25).
We will also have to arrange with the MPPP for a sweeper truck to "sapu" all those stragglers who "prefer to push their bike" when the time limits is up.
Agenda ; Discussion on the outcome of the joint meeting. Finalising Riding Jersey and T shirt. RELA personnels, First aiders, ambulance etc.
