The team arrived at the scene 11 minutes later, covering a distance of approximately seven kilometres from PKOD.

APM Limbang highlighted its guiding principles of “Wira Biru”, “APM Forever”, and “Ready, Fast, With Integrity”, underscoring its dedication to community safety and rapid response.
The agency continues to remind residents that emergencies should be reported immediately through the national hotline 999 or directly to APM Limbang at 085-210471.
Medical emergencies involving senior citizens remain a priority for local authorities, as elderly individuals are more vulnerable to sudden health complications.
The swift response by APM Limbang reflects the importance of coordinated emergency services in ensuring timely medical care.
Authorities also encourage the public to remain vigilant and to seek professional assistance rather than attempting to manage serious health issues independently.
By working closely with emergency responders, communities can ensure that vulnerable individuals receive the care they need without delay.
This incident highlights the crucial role of APM in providing not only disaster and rescue services but also medical support to residents across Sarawak.
Their readiness to respond to diverse emergencies strengthens public confidence in local safety networks and ensures that communities remain protected.
