A Tragic Incident at Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010Share. Today at 1:55pm
I would like to share a tragic incident that happened at Standard Chartered KL Marathon today…
When i was running my final 2 km on the 10km… as i was running along the road in front of Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, i saw a guy was sitting on the road side then soon enough he collapsed…

this incident attracted my attention as a guy(a training doctor, named Irkhan) that was trying to help him was shouting for medic..
as i was a trained EFR, i ran over to see what is happening.. (it was around 1 hour into the race for 10km runners)

i got to know that the guy (named Lim) has collapsed and was having seizure.. we tried to place him in recovery position… he was breathing very heavily and shortly and he was also biting his teeth very very hard… i was afraid that he will hurt himself (with either biting his own tongue or he closed up his airway).. so i tried to open up his jaw and tried to communicate wif him to have him relax and breath easily.. he then slowed down his breathing and taking deeper breath…

another lady (lady A) came to help and constantly monitor on his pulse… and Dr. Visva (was another participant in the run) came over to help…

Then suddenly, his pulse was gone… then we lied him flat and started on CPR procedures… we constantly check on his pulse to check whether his pulse has come back.. we did chest compression and also mouth-to-mouth breathing to Lim…
as we were doing the CPR procedures, we did not sight medic anywhere.. and we tried to shout as loud as possible for medic…

After awhile into the CPR procedures, "lady A" said that she could feel his pulse but was very weak.. then we stopped the CPR procedures to see whether he regain consciousness or not…
After i stopped the chest compression on Lim, i started shouting for medic services again with the hope that a medic services is nearby and heard us.. but unfortunately not… we only sighted 3 DBKL Officers(with big motorcycles) just stood by the road side and just stare… the did not come over to help or to check out what happened… (it was around 10 minutes that Lim collapse and had seizure)…

after a moment, Lim loose his pulse again.. we started CPR procedures again.. we still did not sight an ambulance or any EMS(Emergency Medical Services) around… after approximately 30 compression, Lim regained his pulse but was very very weak.. and yet.. there was still no ambulance or EMS sighted… and DBKL officers still stood there and did not came over to help… so I informed a passer by to run to the officers to tell them to call for an EMS soonest possible...

after we performed CPR procedures on Lim for the the third time, finally a St. John ambulance came after around 15 - 20 minutes after Lim collapsed…

we let the EMS officers to take over the CPR and First Aid… Dr. Visva asked whether do they have the AED(Automated External Defibrillator)… one of the person from the EMS said that they do not have it.. then I asked whether do they have a face mask with pump.. they also did not have it there… THEY PRACTICALLY HAVE NOTHING IN THE AMBULANCE!!!!!!!! -.-"

EMS took him and speed their way to HKL…


we were later informed that the Response time for EMS is 3 minutes but it took them almost 20 minutes to arrive… and later.. as I was reading through the Runners Guide that was provided in our running kit…
There is a statement (at page 15) that states that "Medical Assistance - Medical Aid is available every 4km and at the Finish Area. Due to runner's physical condition, Medical Officials are authorized to stop runners and remove their timing chip"…


every 4KM MY ROYAL ASS.. I did not see any first aider, ambulance or any sort of medical officials along my 10km route… and if 4km was true.. it definitely will not take them SO LONG to arrive...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a call from Dr. Visva a moment ago.. he went to HKL to check out the condition of Lim and he informed me that Lim have passed away on his arrival to the hospital… T__T

Lim is only into his 20's and was running the 10KM distance…





P/s: please share this note to as many people as possible.. we will hope to create awareness on the inefficiency of EMS, DBKL officers and organiser of standard chartered KL Marathon 2010...

we also want to create an awareness that this kind of inefficiency have caused a life of a young man...
we will hope that the marathon organisers will take responsibility and make EMS a top priority in their planning

This is the news from ChinaPress Newspaper

突感不適倒地
跑馬拉松碩士生猝死
（吉隆坡27日訊）甫從英國留學返馬的25歲華裔碩士生，今早參加渣打銀行“2009年吉隆坡馬拉松賽”時，途中感不適及不支倒地，送院搶救后不治。
死者年輕力壯卻突然逝世，家人對此感到愕然，目前待院方為死者進行解剖以瞭解死因。

死者林煒繼（來自馬六甲）生前在英國愛丁堡大學升造並取得碩士學位，返馬后在吉隆坡工作，對未來充滿抱負。

據知，死者與姐姐、姐姐的男友，一同參加今日在吉隆坡市區舉行的馬拉松賽。

林煒繼是參加10公里的跑程，競跑于今日清晨約7時開跑，他與姐姐等人的跑程不同，因此在事發時，姐姐等人並不在其身邊。

林煒繼跑至隆市敦拉薩路一帶時，突感不適及倒地，在他處競跑的姐姐接獲通知后，連忙趕往瞭解情況。

當時，尚未斷氣的林煒繼由救護車送往隆市中央醫院搶救，醫務人員嘗試為他施救，直至早上約8時30分，證實死者不治。

死者家人在老家馬六甲接獲噩耗后，趕往吉隆坡中央醫院瞭解情況，家人都無法接受煒繼突然逝世，哭得呼天搶地。

據知，死者早年面對心臟方面的問題，不過近年來沒有出現問題，如今他突然逝世，讓家人感到意外，如今唯有待進行解剖才可得知死因。

金馬警區主任祖卡納因助理總監指出，警方接獲死者在參加馬拉松賽時猝逝的投報，務必安排死者遺體接受解剖。

他說，死者身上沒有可疑傷痕，相信是自然死亡，案件暫列為突然死亡案件處理。

家人曾勸阻死者參賽

家人曾經勸阻死者參加馬拉松賽，孰料死者一去就不回頭。

據知，死者父親于馬拉松賽前夕，曾勸死者勿參加競跑，不過死者沒有退出。

家人懊惱的是，死者過去數年在英國留學時，都能挨過寒冷天氣，孰料返馬數個月就猝逝。

死者突然逝世讓家人不知所措，週日上午到醫院太平間瞭解情況時，家人一度拒絕院方為死者解剖。

不過，由于死者突然逝世，在程序上務必解剖，因此，警方及院方安排死者遺體于下午3時30分解剖。

銀行高層慰問家屬

馬拉松賽主辦單位的4名代表，包括兩名外籍高層，週日上午得知林煒繼死訊后，前往隆市中央醫院太平間慰問家屬。

他們在受詢時指出，由于事發突然，他們務必先瞭解事發經過。

他們表明，為了尊敬死者及家屬，同時給予他們更大的喘息空間，主辦單位暫時不會就此事發言。

他們出現在醫院時還穿著馬拉松賽的制服，相信是從會場趕往醫院瞭解情況，並在逗留數分鐘后離開醫院。

“到底哪裡不舒服？”

青年年輕力壯，卻無端丟命，其家人接受不了打擊，死者母親在太平間更頻喊：“你到底哪裡不舒服？”

死者母親在進入太平間確認兒子遺體時，已哭紅雙眼，在確認兒子遺體后，更是哭得不能自己，由家人攙扶到一旁休息。

死者母親不住的哭喊，其他家人的情緒也失控，他們委婉地拒絕了記者詢問。

另外，與死者一同參加馬拉松賽的姐姐及姐姐男友，兩人從會場趕往醫院，身上還穿著馬拉松賽的運動服。

至于死者在參加馬拉松賽穿的跑鞋、參賽者編號及其他物件，由醫務人員裝在塑料袋內交返給家人，家人睹物情傷，難掩心中哀傷。

雖是理科生文科也了得

（馬六甲27日訊）參加吉隆坡國際馬拉松競賽途中暴斃的林煒繼，在求學期間，文武雙全，雖然是理科班學生，卻也曾修讀文科的歷史、地理、美術、音樂、烹飪！

煒繼曾是培風中學學生，現任校長張永慶從煒繼成績看來，發現煒繼修讀的科系都很全面。

他說，根據記錄，煒繼是一名理科生，但他曾修歷史、地理、經濟、美術、音樂，也曾參加多媒體學會，而且在高中三的體育成績，獲得平均80分。

張永慶從記者口中得知煒繼的遭遇后，也知道煒繼母親原本于今日協助興安會館到培中校慶辦義賣，被迫趕到吉隆坡為煒繼辦理領屍手續。

他將慰問煒繼母親，后者愛護培風的精神，令人感動。

畢業刊風趣介紹自己

于2003年畢業的煒繼，在畢業特刊上以風趣的方式介紹自己，不難發現他為人“鬼馬”、幽默。

他在簡介上寫著：

他精通十八般武藝，唯一不曉得的就是誠實。他敢做、敢玩又敢當，所以沒有人敢和他玩。

他很帥，帥得電死了很多人。總之，男女老少都適合。

他雖樂于助人，但只會越幫越忙罷了。他人緣好，朋友也多，在眾多的約會時，會不知取捨。隨之的，放飛機的次數也多了。

希望…墮落…的他，能夠上進一點，不然魅力會打個折扣。

羅佩渟：煒繼好開朗

曾與煒繼在高中同窗3年的羅佩渟說，她與煒繼一起就讀培風中學，印象中的煒繼，是一個開朗的人。

她說，煒繼在高三是理科班學生，但對方也考史地，也曾修烹飪、音樂等。

她接到噩訊時，感到震驚不已。目前在培中執教的她說，自從高中畢業后，同學相約每年新年聚會。她最后一次見到煒繼，就是今年農曆新年年初三的同學聚餐會。

“我們在聚餐會上跟煒繼談得不多，因為他忙著載送其他同學到聚會的地點。”

她說，畢業后，同學之間都有互相聯絡，除了身在國外或特殊情況，每個同學都一定會出席一年一度的聚餐會。

中學老師惋惜

林玉美老師曾是林煒繼的高三班級老師，對于煒繼的離開，大嘆可惜！

她說，煒繼是一名乖巧的學生，每年校慶都會回來學校幫忙。

她指出，煒繼在學術上成績還不錯，在學校活動很活躍，健康方面也沒問題，她不曾聽說過煒繼生病。

她從羅佩渟口中知道這消息后，一直不能接受事實，還反問記者煒繼是因何事暴斃？

Deepest condolences to Bryan and family.
