Miri District Safety Awareness Campaign Sarawak Fire Director: Raising Community Safety Awareness

(Miri, 24th) Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department Director, Jamri Maslan, emphasized that citizens should always remain vigilant and avoid the "3L" in terms of safety — Forgetfulness (Lupa), Negligence (Lalai), and Carelessness (Leka), as these behaviors can lead to household or traffic accidents.

 

He stated this to the media after attending the Miri district safety awareness campaign and Bubur Lambuk distribution event this morning.

 

He pointed out that today’s Miri district safety awareness event was successfully held and received a warm response. The event specially invited Miri Deputy Mayor Haji Arifin and strategic police partner, Miri Deputy Police District Chief Ashyikin, to be present and jointly promote safety awareness education.

 

He said that during this event, approximately 300 portions of Bubur Lambuk were distributed, not only conveying festive warmth but also including safety awareness pamphlets on family and road safety in the porridge packets to remind citizens to stay vigilant in their daily lives, preventing accidents.

 

He urged the public to check and maintain vehicles for safety before returning home; meanwhile, before leaving the house, ensure all electrical equipment is checked, power is turned off, and that all doors and windows are locked to prevent theft or fire risks.

 

Additionally, he noted that the weather conditions, particularly the threat of flooding due to the rainy season, are of recent concern. He reminded citizens to pay close attention to weather alerts issued by the Malaysian Meteorological Department, especially regarding precipitation in the Sarawak region.

 

"Recently, Sibu and Kapit Song areas in Sarawak are facing floods, and the rescue supplies and manpower in Sibu and Song areas are still sufficient, but if the situation worsens, or if it becomes as severe as the previous flood in Bintulu, support will be dispatched from other regions to ensure the safety of residents in the disaster area."

 

Meanwhile, he pointed out that the highly anticipated "Fire Run" event also received a positive response. So far, 200 individuals have registered, and several teams have signed up, with some teams having more than 30 members. The bureau expects this year’s total registration to reach 1,300 people and is confident in achieving the target.

 

"We believe that with the efforts of all parties, this year's Fire Run will once again be a success."
