PETALING JAYA: Local council authorities must make personal flotation devices (PFDs) available at high-risk drowning locations, said Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

“The government should also make it mandatory for local governments to place PDFs at high-risk locations for emergencies and also on recreational vessels,” said the National Water Activity Safety Council (WASC) member in a statement on Sunday (Aug 26).
