Only 999

By 1 January 2008, the emergency numbers 991 (medical), 994 (fire) and 112 (mobile) will all be merged back to 999 (currently used for police). However, users dialing the older numbers will still be routed to 999.

The Star Online Nation "999 for all emergencies" article also stated that "...callers can expect their calls to be answered within 10 seconds or after four rings." That sounds great! Calls will be fully managed by TM (Telekom Malaysia) but judging from my Streamyx connection tonight, I remain skeptical.
