JBPM Distributes 150 Community Boats Nationwide To Help Expedite Flood Rescue Ops
SEREMBAN, July 31 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) has begun distributing 150 community boats, valued at RM1.8 million, nationwide to facilitate and expedite the rescue of flood victims at the early stage. Deputy Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu said the phased handing-over of the boats to eligible recipients began today. 'The bodies identified as eligible recipients include the Community and Volunteer Fire Brigade, Rukun Tetangga groups, Village Development and Security Committee, as well as the Federal Village Development and Security Committee and stations with a high number of flood rescue operations. 'The procurement of the new boats and accessories for community rescue was made through the allocation under the 2023 Third Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) to facilitate the rescue process of local communities to safe locations,' she said. She told reporters this after officiating the Water Activity Safety Campaign programme in conjunction with the World Drowning Prevention Day, which was also attended by JBPM director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad here today. Aiman Athirah also said that Malaysia recorded an average of 1,359 deaths from drowning from 2020 to 2024, with an annual fatality average of 272. 'If analysed, the number of deaths from drowning is much higher than deaths due to fires. The high-risk age group - between 20 and 39 and between seven and 19 - recorded the highest number of fatalities, accounting for 36 per cent and 30 per cent of the total deaths, respectively,' she said. As such, she said appropriate prevention programmes need to be implemented, in addition to ensuring policy planning involving the participation of various sectors is carried out to reduce the risks of drowning incidents. Aiman Athirah said continuous efforts, like today's campaign, should be expanded not only to tourist areas but also to villages and rural areas near natural water resources, such as rivers and lakes.

Warriors' Day: 'Darah Yang Terpercik Di Baju' Pays Tribute To Nation's Heroes
By Norhayati Mohd Akhir PUTRAJAYA, July 31 (Bernama) -- Among the rows of heroes, veterans of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM), a soft yet powerful female voice pierced the stillness of the morning, evoking memories of bloodshed and sacrifice on the battlefield. The poem, titled 'Darah Yang Terpercik di Baju,' was more than just a recitation. For Staff Sergeant Siti Nur Aini Jasni, it was a heartfelt expression of duty and devotion - a pledge of loyalty spoken with love. A member of the ATM for over two decades, she delivered each line not just with voice, but with the weight of experience as a military personnel. Chosen for the third time to recite a poem in conjunction with Warriors' Day, Siti Nur Aini considers the opportunity a deeply meaningful honour, especially as she stands before rows of veterans who remain resolute, even as age begins to weigh on their bodies. 'When I see the veterans marching with such enthusiasm, despite their age and physical limitations, my heart aches,' she said. 'Their unwavering spirit breathes life into every verse I recite,' she added, referring to the poem written by the late Norazimah Abu Bakar. Having begun reciting poetry during her school days, the 40-year-old from Kulim, Kedah, said her passion for poetry has remained strong throughout her career in the military. Her dedication has earned her several accolades, including being crowned champion of the ATM 'Sayembara Deklamasi Puisi Kemerdekaan' 2023. However, Siti Nur Aini is quick to point out that it's not the awards that matter most, but how poetry can stir the hearts of the younger generation and remind them of the sacrifices made by the country's heroes. 'The verses that touches me most deeply are: 'selimut pejuang yang gugur perlahan dilepaskan' and 'dari liang pusara menyambut syahdu, resam terpercik darah di baju masih basah, bersemadi di kalbuku'. These lines pierce straight to the heart.
