IPOH, Feb 22 — The Malaysia Civil Defence Force (APM) hopes the government will raise the allowance of the agency as accorded to the People’s Volunteer Corps (Rela).

APM chief commissioner Datuk Roslan Wahab said the agency had sent its application for a raise in the rate of allowance to the Prime Minister’s Department (JPM) and the Public Service Department (JPA) at the end of last year.
