MIRI: The Civil Defence Force (APM) has conducted a safety awareness programme to some 136 pre-schoolers from Tabika Kemas Kampung Piasau Utara, Tabika Kemas Desa Pujut and Tabika Kemas IKBN.

The programme which took place yesterday, was spearheaded by four APM personnel who delivered talks and demonstrations throughout the two-hour programme.

According to APM officer Mirwan Shah Masri, the preschoolers were introduced to the 999 emergency lines comprising the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM), Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA), hospital and the police.

“Besides educating the young ones on emergency situations and calls as well as emergency preparedness, the programme also aims to educate the young ones on the danger of making prank calls,” said Mirwan.

He added that the safety awareness programme was part of the Phase 4 of the National Recovery Plan.
