CBRNe threat also deliberated by any possibility of accident, leakage, spillage or explosion. Toxic gas leak at Carbidesite cause Bhopal Tragedy in India 1984, nuclear reactor accident in Chernobyl, Ukraine 1955 and nuclear plant explosion in Fukushima, Japan in 2011 illustrate the danger of such release. With increasing number of proliferating nation and increase industrilisation, toxicological problem extends beyond those CBRNe warfare. In Malaysia, a series of chemical toxic gas leakage have been reported and the recent incident in March 2019 at Pasir Gudang arise the public concern and reflect the preparedness of Malaysia Rescue Team, Health Service, Enviromental Department and NGO toward mass casualty incident management related to CBRNe threat specifically chemical industrial agent. Malaysia Armed Forces have full capability of handling and managing any CBRNe threat provided with good training and competency in a way of doing surveillance and detection, decontamination, medical countermeasure and equipped with complete PPE, special device, machine and equipment mainly for conventional war and counter-terrorism and are looking forward to give support and develop their capability in HADR mission and Industrial Incident too that mainly handled by HAZMAT and PDRM.
