Vital for community groups to learn lifesaving skills, says Perak Bomba chief

IPOH: Residents' associations (RA) and Rukun Tetangga (RT) sectors should learn basic safety and lifesaving procedures from government agencies, says Perak Fire and Rescue Department director Sayani Saidon.

She said it is vital that as many people as possible learn basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); what to do in case of a fire or accident; how to help someone who is choking; and how to face poisonous animals, such as snakes.
