999 Call Service Still Available

Nov 19, 2025

The recently-launched SaveME999 app is not the only way to contact emergency services.  

Authorities explained that the app is just an additional option for users who need multimedia capabilities to report an emergency.   

They add that you can continue using the existing 999 emergency call service as usual. 

This, as part of efforts to enhance the inclusivity of Malaysia's emergency response system.
