Don't Start Taking Heatstroke Risk For Granted

Jun 06, 2024

The recent rainy weather does NOT mean that we should start taking the risk of heat-related illnesses for granted.  

Public health expert, Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar says temperatures remain high when it doesn't rain, meaning the risk of complications like heatstroke is still high...  

He advises those doing outdoor activities to seek shade, drink water and rest, if they show symptoms including dizziness, nausea, and tiredness.  

This, after a member of PDRM's General Operations Force died of suspected heatstroke during an outdoor training programme in Perak.
