Friday, 16 Jan 2026 Summary from The Star News

PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry is seeking feedback on whether members of the public should provide voluntary assistance in emergency situations.

The public feedback will allow the government to consider the best way forward in adopting a Good Samaritan law for the nation.

“Good Samaritan approach” is a principle, often supported by law, that protects individuals who voluntarily help someone in an emergency from being sued for negligence.

This will encourage bystanders to offer reasonable assistance without fear of legal repercussions.

The statement said that hesitation due to fear of harm, lack of knowledge, and concerns over the perception of their actions may impact a person’s willingness to assist someone in need.

The ministry aims to gather and identify the main reasons that discourage or encourage people from helping those in need, whether legal uncertainty is a prominent factor or not, as well as the types of safeguards for those who provide emergency assistance.

The feedback gathered aims to “improve public education and awareness on how to help safely, expand access to training such as CPR and first aid, provide clearer information on existing legal protections and consider whether additional legal or policy measures are appropriate”, as stated in a public consultation paper by United Public Consultation (UPC).

🚑 EMS-PFR Community Services

📅 13 Dec 2025 – 12:54 Hrs
📍 Farlim, Penang Island

A fall case occurred inside a bathroom involving one casualty, a male approximately 47 years old.

Injuries
Laceration to the leg
Leg trapped and immobilised on the bathroom floor

Response
EMS-PFR Medic Bike Bravo 01 responded immediately after receiving a public distress call via the Penang Safe Volunteer Channel, providing on-scene assessment and initial medical assistance.

Further assistance was requested from Fire and Rescue Department (BOMBA) and a KKM ambulance for patient extrication and transport.

Chronology of Incident
The patient fell inside the bathroom. Upon assessment, it was observed that the gaps between the floor tiles had worn out, with the white rubbery adhesive between tiles deteriorated. This deterioration created sharp, knife-like edges on the tiles.

During the fall, part of the patient’s body was lacerated by the exposed tile edges and became trapped beneath the floor tile, resulting in a significant laceration with skin and tissue caught under the tile.

To safely release the trapped body part and prevent further injury, Fire and Rescue Services (BOMBA) had to break and remove the floor tile. Once removed, the trapped tissue and skin were successfully released, allowing for further medical management.

A big thank you to:
🙏 Bomba Malaysia
🙏 Hospital Pulau Pinang Ambulance Crew
🙏 Penang Safe Volunteers

🙏 All responders and members of the public
for working together to stabilise, evacuate, and transport the patient safely to the hospital for further medical attention.
