During the 2 days training, participants were given theory and practical lessons. A simple theory and practical test was conducted by the trainer on the second day to test the knowledge and understanding of the participants.
At the closing ceremony, the representative from Sarawak Southern Regional Council, Captain Michael Chai Khim Chuan (Captain of 3rd Kuching) thanked the Kuching Civil Defense Department for conducting the training and the school authorities for allowing the organising committee to use their facilities and venue. He also thanked Warrant Officer Griffin Gelengan and his committee for their effort in organising this training camp.
The camp was short but the participants had fun and gained a lot of knowledge. We hope that our collaboration with the trainers will not end here since we are planning to organise a similar training camp in the next future.
