Southwest District Civil Defence Force officer, Lieutenant (PA) Noor Azizan Zakaria said they received an emergency call at 12.16pm and sent four personnel to the scene.
Jami was still conscious when they administered treatment. Once she was stabilised, she was sent to Penang General Hospital where her right leg had to be amputated due to the severity of the injury.
Her husband Marzuki Omar, 68, only knew about the news when he got home. He was initially waiting for Jami’s call to pick her up at 12pm from work.
It was their routine so he was puzzled when he didn’t receive her call. He decided to head home to call her.
Once he was home, he received shocking news from a MASKargo staff who called to inform him and he quickly rushed to the hospital.
Hopefully, Jami will make a swift and smooth recovery.
