At the opening ceremony of the council’s first ever Flood and Water Safety Awareness course yesterday, its chairman Lo Khere Chiang said numerous rivers and streams in Kuching meant there were many opportunities for accidents.
“There are many drowning cases reported throughout Malaysia. What we are doing here with this course is very important,” he said.
Among the participants of the course were Rela members, Malaysian Red Crescent members and the local community.
Conducted by Sarawak Life Saving Training Centre, the course expects a total of 120 participants divided over two days. They can expect to learn protective measure, rescue methods and procedures. They will also learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Lo said that if this session received good response, they would conduct more sessions for the community, especially those in flood-prone areas.
Also present was event was the organising chairman Lucas Lee.
On the same event, the council also honoured eight people who have saved others from drowning.
