KUCHING, July 17: Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) honoured 17 of their officers who have retired and will retire this year with a high tea reception earlier this afternoon.
To make the event more memorable, Bomba Malaysia director-general Datuk Mohammad Hamdan Wahid was personally there to join the officers who had diligently served the department for years.
“Today we come together as a fire family to celebrate the retirement of our fellow brothers. Each and everyone of you have encountered various stages of life during your service. But at the end of the day, it is for our community, providing the highest quality of service in the most effective and efficient manner we can, and it is about making sure that every single person on our team returns home safely at the end of each shift,” Mohammad Hamdan said in his speech.
Thanking the group on behalf of the department for their hard work and service, Mohammad Hamdan hoped that all the years of experience would remain ingrained as good memories for them.
