MUKAH – The Mukah District Operations Control Centre (PKOD) responded swiftly on Sunday, 5 July 2026, after receiving an emergency call concerning an elderly man who was reported to be in distress.
The incident was categorised as a SKT (Painful) case. According to the report, the victim was experiencing weakness in his limbs, prompting immediate intervention from the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) Mukah unit.
Upon arrival, APM personnel assessed the situation and transferred the man using a scoop stretcher to an ambulance. He was then taken to Mukah Hospital for further medical treatment. The operation was carried out smoothly, ensuring the victim received timely care.
Cases involving elderly individuals often require urgent response due to their vulnerability to sudden health complications. Emergency responders emphasise that rapid intervention can make a significant difference in preventing further deterioration.
APM Mukah reiterated its commitment to community safety, reminding residents of its operational readiness under the motto “Nang Steady.” The unit also reinforced its message: “There is a Disaster, Call APM,” encouraging the public to seek professional assistance rather than attempting to manage emergencies alone.
Local authorities continue to highlight the importance of community vigilance, particularly in rural districts where access to medical facilities may be limited. By reporting emergencies promptly, residents enable responders to act quickly and ensure that victims receive the necessary treatment.
The Civil Defence Force has urged the public to keep emergency contact numbers accessible at all times. For urgent cases in Mukah, residents can reach APM directly at 084-872814, which operates 24 hours a day.
This latest case underscores the crucial role of emergency services in safeguarding public health and safety. As Sarawak strengthens its community resilience, the cooperation between residents and responders remains vital in addressing unexpected incidents.
