IPOH: Basic safety and life-saving skills are important knowledge that everyone should possess, says Perak Fire and Rescue Department director Sayani Saidon.

She said one way to get as many people as possible to be part of the team is for residents’ associations (RA) and the Rukun Tetangga (RT) to engage with the relevant government agencies that provide such programmes and courses.
