SIMANGGANG, Aug 15 2026: The swift action by two members of the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) Kampung Tengah, Simanggang, successfully rescued a stone ship worker who fell into the river in the Tanjung Apit area, Skait, near here, today.
According to Simanggang Information Office, the victim was successfully found and rescued after floating for almost an hour on the surface of the water, relying on the life jacket he was wearing.
Kampung Tengah headman Kifli Morni said the rescue operation was carried out by two JKKK members Yusuf Ahmad and Sahpri Yahya who acted quickly using a rental boat as soon as they received information about the incident.
According to Kifli, the efficiency and concern shown by the rental boat team was commended for successfully preventing any untoward incident, given that the waters of Skait and Tanjung Apit are known for their strong river currents and crocodile habitats.
The victim, who was found safe and stable, was immediately lifted onto the boat and then taken to the bank for further action and health checks.
Kifli also expressed his highest appreciation and gratitude for the commitment and courage of the JKKK members involved, thus proving the importance of local community preparedness in handling emergency situations in local waters.
