Malaysian police escort car to hospital to help man suffering from heart attack
On 28 Oct, two officers from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in Terengganu escorted a car to Kemaman Hospital after learning it was carrying a man experiencing a heart attack.
Mazita Mazelan, the man’s sister-in-law, explained that the patient had suffered a heart attack at home and “suddenly became quiet and unresponsive” while they were en route to the hospital, Oriental Daily News reported.
By chance, they encountered a patrol car on the road.
“There happened to be a patrol car in front of the food court, so I immediately asked for help from the officers,” Madam Mazelan shared.
Police clear the way for vehicle carrying patient
Upon learning of the emergency, Lance Corporal Khairulisyam Kamarudin and Support Lance Corporal Amar Amsyar Annuar sprang into action.
They escorted the family’s vehicle, activating their police car’s sirens to clear a path.
A video recorded from the patient’s car captures the vehicle following the police unit as it effectively navigated through traffic, with the family’s distress audible in the background.
Policemen recognised for their good deed
Madam Mazelan expressed her gratitude to the two officers for their timely assistance, which enabled her brother-in-law to receive urgent medical treatment, ultimately stabilising his condition.
The PDRM also shared a post on social media, praising Mr Kamarudin and Mr Annuar for their commendable actions.
The two officers have since been formally recognised for their good deed at a ceremony attended by the grateful Madam Mazelan.
