Budak Kecil Mangsa Kebakaran Genset Perlu Bantuan Segera 

MIRI - Akibat dari genset terbakar seorang budak lelaki yang berumur 5 tahun melecur teruk di Kampung Api-Api Lutong, Miri beberapa bulan yang lalu. Keluarga mangsa memohon perhatian dari pihak kerajaan dan badan kebajikan agar dapat memberi bantuan segera untuk menampung perubatan anak mereka.

Mohd Khasimi adalah mangsa kebakaran ketika ayahnya cuba menghidupkan genset dihadapan rumah mereka yang digunakan untuk menyalurkan eletrik.

Menurut ibu mangsa, tiba-tiba percikan api keluar dari genset dan api menyambar mangsa dan juga ayahnya ketika ayahnya cuba hendak menghidupkan genset itu. Ayah mangsa cuma cedera dibahagian kaki tetapi Mohd Khasimi terkena hampir keseluruhan badan akibat api yang terbakar dari genset tersebut.

Disebabkan pihak kerajaan yang tidak menyediakan kemudahan asas seperti elektrik di kampung
tersebut, mereka terpaksa menggunakan genset yang mengunakan petrol sebagai sumber untuk menjana tenaga elektrik.

Mereka pernah memohon bekalan eletrik ke rumah mereka tetapi sehingga kini bekalan elektrik belum dipasang, walau nama Kampung Api-Api tetapi tiada api letrik.

Keluarga mangsa juga memohon agar pihak berwajib dapat membantu membina semula rumah mereka yang agak usang supaya mereka sekeluarga dapat sedikit keselesaan tinggal di rumah baru nanti. Bapa mangsa hanya seorang pekerja buruh yang perlu menyara hidup 5 orang anaknya termasuk mangsa.

Kita amat simpati nasib yang menimpa budak kecil ini kerana sebelah tangan dan juga kaki beliau bengkak dan sukar untuk berjalan seperti budak-budak lain. Hari Raya menjelang tiba, dia hanya duduk bersama ibu dan ahli keluarganya tanpa dapat berbuat apa-apa seperti budak-budak yang sebaya dengannya.

Kita mengesa pihak berwajib dapat membantu meringankan beban keluarga mangsa terutama mangsa yang melecur yang perlu diberi perhatian yang sewajarnya agar dapat dipulih sepenuhnya.
Pihak kami hanya mampu memberi sedikit bantuan tetapi pihak kerajaan dan pihak yang berkenaan perlu memberi bantuan sepenuhnya agar budak tersebut dapat pulih sepenuhnya.

Harap perkara ini mendapat perhatian yang sewajarnya daripada pihak yang berkenaan untuk  bertindak segera menyelesaikan masalah keluarga terbabit. Kerjasama dengan pihak yang berkenaan amat dihargai.

Small boy of Genset Fire Victims Need Urgent Relief

MIRI - As a result of burning genset a boy who was 5 years old suffered serious burns in the Api-Api Village Lutong, Miri a few months ago. Victim’s family applies for the attention from the government and the charitable organizations to be able to provide immediate assistance to meet their child's medicine.

Mohd Khasimi is the fire victims when his father tried to turn on the genset in front of their house used to channel electricity. According to the victim's mother, suddenly a fire sparks and a fire come out of genset grabbed the victim and also his father while his father tried to turn on the generator. Victim’s father only injured by the leg but Mohd Khasimi affected almost the entire body due to the burning fire from the genset.

Due to the government that is not providing basic amenities like electricity in the village, they had to use a gensets that use gasoline as a source to generate electricity.

They ever apply electricity supply to their homes, but until now has not been installed electricity, although the name Kampung Api-Api but no electricity.

Victim's family also requested that the authorities can help rebuild their home that is quite dilapidated so that the family can live a little comfort in a new home later. The victim's father was just a laborer that needs to earn a living of 5 of his children including the victim.

We are very sympathy for the fate of the little boy as one hand and his feet swollen and hard to walk like other boys. Eid drew near he just sat with his mother and his family without being able to do anything like the boys of his age.

We urge the authorities to help ease the burden of the victim family especially the scalded victims that should be given appropriate attention so that he can be fully recovered.

We are only able to provide some assistance, but the government and the relevant authorities should give full support so that the child can be fully recovered.

Hope this gets appropriate attention from the relevant authorities to act quickly to solve the family problems. Cooperation with the parties concerned is highly appreciated.
