A real-life emergency drama unfolded at the annual parade of the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRCS) Penang branch when the event’s emcee collapsed after suffering a heart attack.
Lim Kok Kong, 65, who is the secretary of the MRCS North Seberang Perai chapter, fell to the ground clutching his chest, about 10 minutes before the arrival of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas to grace the event at the Padang Polo grounds.

Penang General Hospital medical officer Dr.Teo Aik Howe and MRCS North Seberang Perai Chapter chairman Dr.Chong Yew Hock at tent nearby rushed over to give Lim first aid with cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before rushing him to the Penang Hospital in a MRCS ambulance.
At press time, he was reported to be in stable condition but has been placed under observation at the hospital’s intensive care unit.
One MRCS member, who did not want to be identified, said Lim had been serving as the secretary of the North Seberang Prai chapter for the past 10 years.
“He was just standing near the microphone, waiting to announce the arrival of the Governor when he suddenly collapsed,” he said.
The parade, which began about 10 minutes after Lim was taken to the hospital, was participated by 28 MRCS units from the secondary and primary schools here.
The Bukit Mertajam High School team emerged champion in the youth unit march past category with SMK Berapit and SM Prai taking second and third spots respectively. Besides, in link unit march past category, SJKC Keow Kuang Bukit Mertajam won the champion.
