Malaysia emergency numbers: 999, 112, 991 and 994

Use the right number quickly, with 999 as the primary integrated emergency number.

For an immediate threat to life or safety in Malaysia, call 999 first. Give the exact location, what happened and a callback number. The integrated emergency system coordinates police, fire and rescue, medical response and civil defence.

112 is a mobile emergency calling route that can connect to the emergency system. 991 and 994 are supplementary civil-defence and fire-rescue numbers, but 999 remains the clearest primary choice when you need urgent help.

Only call emergency lines for genuine emergencies. Move to a safe place where possible, do not put yourself at risk to collect more details, and follow the operator's instructions.

Before calling a local service, note the exact Sibu address, a safe landmark, when the incident started, whether anyone is injured and a number that can be called back. Give observed facts rather than guesses. Do not wait for a quote, a provider reply or a map search when there is an immediate threat to life or public safety: call 999 first.

Once the scene is safe, save the reference number, time of contact, photographs taken from a safe position and any written quotation or receipt. The local contact cards below can help with follow-up from hospitals, police, fire, civil-defence, utility or roadside providers, but they do not replace the emergency system. Verify the provider's scope and any charge before authorising non-emergency work.
