Every second counts when ambulances and firetrucks are called out to an incident, which is why it is vital for us to give way when an emergency vehicle approaches!

The video, that was shared by Facebook user Ka Cheng Saw shows the car driving slowly in the fast-lane, and did not budge even after hearing the sound of the ambulance’s siren.
Netizens in the comment section pointed out the driver’s selfishness and urges the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to take action against the driver, like suspending their license.
Health director-general, Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah reacted to the video on Facebook, “There are still selfish drivers out there who refuse to give way to an emergency vehicle, even though the siren has been blaring for quite some time.”
“In this case, enforcement is in the hands of the police. However, I am reposting this to educate and spread awareness to the public and urges all of you to please help save lives,” he added.
What an amazing message: Please help save lives if you have the chance!
Don’t be selfish!
