Everyone should learn life-saving skills like CPR


RECENTLY, I read a report about a teacher in Ipoh who died after suffering from a heart attack. There were allegations that the paramedic team who responded to the emergency call did not perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the teacher, who had collapsed in his car.

This case brings to light the importance for the general public to learn CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) skills.
