Batang Kali landslide: Rescuers refuse to take blood pressure readings for fear of being pulled out of SAR efforts, says Uncle Kentang

PETALING JAYA: Firefighters working on the search and rescue operations at the Batang Kali landslide site have refused to take their blood pressure readings for fear that they would be asked to stand down.

Social activist Kuan Chee Heng (pic), who revealed this, said that firefighters needed to have their blood pressure measured by the health officers on-site to ensure they were fit for search and rescue (SAR) operations.
