The call was made at 1.23 pm by Mr Royston, who requested immediate assistance to transport the victim to hospital.

A four-member Bravo Squad, led by Sergeant (PA) Hasla bin Deli, was dispatched to Rumah Panjang Danau using the Malaysia 4×4 Ambulance 8835. Upon arrival, the team found a 51-year-old man in a weakened state, suffering from muscle spasms.

It was reported that the victim had earlier accompanied several longhouse residents during a land measurement activity before his condition deteriorated.

The victim was moved to the roadside while awaiting the ambulance, allowing responders to conduct preliminary examinations.

The team performed a Rapid Body Scan (RBS) and used a vital signs monitor to assess his condition. Results indicated that the man was stable, though in need of further medical attention.

Following the assessment, the victim was transported safely to Betong Hospital for continued treatment. Authorities confirmed that the operation was carried out smoothly and without complications.

The Civil Defence Force (APM) Spaoh reiterated its commitment to its guiding principle of “Ready, Fast, Integrity”, stressing the importance of swift response in safeguarding community health and safety.

Officials reminded the public that emergency services are available around the clock and urged residents to contact PKOD at 083-473006 or dial 999 for urgent assistance.

This incident highlights the importance of community vigilance and rapid communication with emergency services.

Authorities continue to encourage residents to report emergencies promptly, ensuring that victims receive timely medical support.
