MATU – A swift and professional operation by the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) Matu District successfully neutralised a black stinger nest at SK Orang Kaya Segunim on Thursday, 2 April 2026.
The intervention followed an urgent call to the district’s Operations Control Centre (PKOD), prompting immediate action to ensure the safety of students and staff.

This method is a standard procedure for the APM when dealing with hazardous insect nests, ensuring both effectiveness and minimal risk to the surrounding environment.
