JBPM awards a certificate of commendation to Han Xiao Ai for her rescue work
Among others, the recognition was for her outstanding performance in the rescue operation with the volunteer fire brigade during the Hatyai floods in Thailand. Additionally, JBPM recognised the collective effort of the volunteer fire brigade in the disaster area.
At the commissioning ceremony for new equipment and vessels of the Taman Seri Serdang Volunteer Fire Brigade, Nor Hisham presented appointment letters to brigade members. In his address, he commended the team’s performance during the recent flood relief mission in Hatyai, describing it as an example for volunteer fire brigades nationwide.
In addition to receiving a letter of appointment, Han Xiao Ai also received a certificate of commendation and was the first to take a group photo with the newly commissioned equipment and fire truck, as reported by China Press.
Han Xiao Ai emphasised that she did not do this to gain attention, but rather because she could not bear to see so many people still trapped, which is why she decided to step forward.
Officially appointed as the Serdang Volunteer Fire Brigade team leader
In her Facebook post today (5 January), she revealed that she was officially appointed the team leader of Serdang Volunteer Fire Brigade, effective today.
She noted that this was not her first rodeo in carrying out rescue work, and it certainly would not be her last.
Han Xiao Ai was also involved in the rescue mission of the flood victims in Shah Alam (2021) and Johor (2023).
