“I was given a chance to perform user training on AED. Never thought to deliver speech in front of a huge crowd like the way I used to be. They were having an occupational safety briefing by DOSH at Malaysian Timber Council (MTC). Felt like I’m part of the safety officer. But I assume they’re all excited on this machine since a lot of questions being asked. Kinda best experience to instill confidence on the stage. Also I was told AED is mandatory by 2025 to be installed inside the buildings.”
