Two-year-old girl dies after hitting ceiling fan in Malaysia

 

 

A two-year-old girl from Myanmar died in Malaysia after she hit a rotating ceiling fan while playing with her uncle, the police said on Wednesday (Jun 19).

 

Her uncle, 25, was playing with his niece by tossing her into the air when her head hit the fan, according to Ampang Jaya District Police Chief Noor Azmi Yusoff.

 

Postmortem results show that the toddler died from blunt force trauma to the head, reported New Straits Times.

 

The incident happened at about 10pm on Sunday at a two-storey house in Tasik Tambahan Ampang.

 

The toddler was taken to Ampang Hospital, where she was pronounced dead the next day, Noor Azmi added. Her uncle was arrested on Tuesday after her father filed a police report.

Yahoo News : Fighting cock kills police chief in Philippine raid

A Philippine police officer was killed during a raid on an illegal cockfight after a rooster's blade sliced his femoral artery, an official said Tuesday.

Cockfighting is a popular blood sport in the archipelago where money is bet on the outcome of a fight -- often to the death -- between two colourful birds armed with bladed spurs.

It has been banned along with other sporting and cultural events during the coronavirus pandemic to prevent large crowds from gathering and spreading the contagion.   

Monday's freak accident in the central province of Northern Samar happened when Lieutenant Christian Bolok picked up a fighting cock as he gathered evidence of the unlawful event. 

Its blade struck his left thigh and he bled to death, provincial police chief Colonel Arnel Apud told AFP.

"It was an unfortunate accident and a piece of bad luck that I cannot explain," Apud said.

"I could not believe it when it was first reported to me. This is the first time in my 25 years as a policeman that I lost a man due to a fighting cock's spur." 

Three people were arrested and two fighting cocks seized along with two sets of spurs in the raid in San Jose town where Bolok was the police chief, Apud added.

Two customers taken to hospital after ceiling fan incident in Tampines coffee shop

Quote

After the works were completed, the fan was switched on and a serviceman on site tried to move a ladder below the fan.

This caused the fan's blades to hit the ladder, which resulted in part of a blade breaking off. There are conflicting accounts on what happened next but the incident caused two coffee shop patrons to be injured.

When the ladder is on the floor it is below the fan height, when worker carry it, it will be higher.

Basic safety that was overlook in open public area.

All this type of work will not have procedure for Risk Assessment,  Tool box meeting etc....
