Fire chief: If you like it, put a ring on it – carefully

Firemen working hard to cut off a penis ring in last year's case.

KUALA LUMPUR: Almost 80% of the distress calls made to firemen here to remove rings on bodies involved cases where they were stuck on men’s private parts.

Rings that were stuck on genitals were more difficult to remove as most of them were made from dense metal that was too thick to cut through, said City Fire and Rescue Department chief operations officer Samsol Maarif Saibani.
