GEORGE TOWN: Empty water bottles and containers can save lives in water emergencies and floods.Just tape a few together – especially if they are 500ml bottles - and they become instant flotation devices, says Geh Thuan Tek, a board of trustee member with the Royal Life Saving Society Commonwealth.
“If you do not have a life jacket and are not comfortable about getting into the water, just bring this custom-made flotation device with you. The five-litre water containers even have a handle that a person can hold onto in the water,” said Geh, a Water Safety Activity Council of Malaysia member.
