IPOH, September 27 — A 19-year-old Orang Asli man suffered hand injuries when it became entangled in a meat grinder at a chicken processing factory in Bercham Light Industrial Area, according to the Perak Fire and Rescue Department. The incident occurred around 4:41 pm, prompting a rapid response from the Ipoh Fire and Rescue Station, which dispatched a team to the scene.
Upon arrival, the crew discovered the victim's hand still inside the machinery, and the individual was still conscious. The operation commander requested the help of the Ministry of Health's medical team to sedate the victim, as he was experiencing pain during the procedure.
The fire department utilized specialized cutter-spreader equipment to cut through the meat grinder down to the blade mold section. However, the victim's right hand could not be removed due to the blade mold being made of stainless steel, and the man's condition was deteriorating. After consulting with the MOH team, the victim was transported to Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun for further medical attention.
