马国警方特派直升机 护送习近平车队
为配合中国国家主席习近平访问马来西亚，马国警方派出直升机在空中巡逻，360度无死角进行全方位的监控，最大程度确保安全。
《中国报》报道，随着习近平来马展开为期3天的国事访问，警方和各单位严阵以待，并且分时分段封路，确保习近平的车队安全及畅通无阻。
记者观察，习近平星期三（4月16日）早到国家王宫出席国宾欢迎仪式，国家元首苏丹依布拉欣亲自以国宴招待。结束后前往下一个行程时，车队不仅有多辆警车严密护送，前后更有多名交警开路及跟随，甚至派出警察飞行部队的直升机在空中巡视，确保万无一失。
根据观察，直升机一路跟随习近平的车队，途经吉隆坡—布城大道（MEX），包括在吉隆坡旧古仔地区上方徘徊，戒备森严。
