SHAH ALAM: It is not only the Army recapitalizing it support vehicles fleet. The police is doing that as well with two tenders for the supply of seventy-five, three-and-five tonne trucks and thirty buses for tactical operations.
The police has also published tenders for operational – 4X4s, vans, and saloon cars – vehicles early this year but no contracts have been awarded just yet. I have no idea why.
The title for the truck tender:
PEROLEHAN 50 BUAH KENDERAAN JENIS SPECIAL TACTICAL CREW CABIN LORRY UNTUK KEGUNAAN POLIS DIRAJA MALAYSIA (PDRM)
Yes, the title says 50 but when you go through the specifications it said that the tender is for fifty, three tonners and twenty-five, five-tonner truck for a total of seventy-five. The trucks are troop carriers as the specifications called for them to be fitted with convertible seats for 18 personnel in the back with at least five seats in the front cabin.
Of course the trucks could also be used as cargo carriers when needed. It is likely that these trucks – are to be issued to General Operation Force (GOF) units across the nation as troop carriers. Senoi Praq GOF units were equipped with Unimog trucks in the late 90s. I believe most of them are retired now. I believe this will be the first time that the police will be operating five tonne trucks as troop carriers. I stand to be corrected of course.
Some of the specifications for the three tonne truck:
LORI 3 TAN CREW
CABIN (4WD
Kenderaan yang ditawarkan mestilah chasis asal dari jenis lori Crew
Cabin 4 – pintu dan mempunyai kapasiti tempat duduk tidak kurang
daripada 5 orang. (MANDATORI)

kargo yang boleh menampung muatan tempat duduk
sekurang-kurangnya lapan belas (18) orang. (MANDATORI)
1.2.2 Dimensi Kenderaan 1.2.2.1 Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) kenderaan mestilah tidak kurang 7,500 kg dengan muatan tidak kurang daripada 3,000 kg (Payload). (MANDATORI
Some of the specifications for the five tonne truck:
LORI 5 TAN CREW CABIN (4WD)
Kenderaan yang ditawarkan mestilah chasis asal dari jenis lori Crew
Cabin 4 – pintu dan mempunyai kapasiti tempat duduk tidak kurang
daripada 5 orang. (MANDATORI)

kenderaan mestilah tidak kurang 10,000 kg dengan muatan tidak
kurang daripada 5,000 kg (Payload). (MANDATORI)
The indicative cost for the tender is RM35 million. This is just to show that it is much cheaper for the government to buy these trucks outright than lease them.
As for buses, this is the title of the tender:
PEROLEHAN 30 BUAH KENDERAAN OPERASI OPERATIF TAKTIKAL UNTUK POLIS DIRAJA MALAYSIA
