Toddlers are often playful as they’re at the age where they’re curious about their surroundings. Just over two days ago, the Jabatan Bomba dan penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) has received a distressed call where a toddler has gotten her hand stuck in a speaker.

According to Sabah Media, it was reported that when they received the call at around 3:41pm. An eight-man team was then sent over to the distressed family’s residence at Taman Kinamount, Lorong Pelunduk. Operations Commander PBK II Idy Nirawan Ilyas led the team and when they arrived at the house, they found the kid crying profusely.
The toddler’s right arm was stuck in the speaker and after assessing the situation, it appears that the toddler has pushed her arm deep into the speaker hole out of curiosity. When she realised that her arm was stuck her mother quickly called the local Fire and Rescue Department for help to dislodge it.
Thankfully, with the help of special tools, the firemen were able to help the toddler by removing her her incapacitated arm from the speaker. Following the incident, Sabah Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Misran Bisara commented on the issue and shared that the child was not sent to the hospital following the rescue operation.
“She wasn’t sent to the hospital but she did receive medical treatment from the Emergency Medical and Rescue Services”, he said.
The toddler was reported to be in good condition and thankfully did not suffer any major injuries. The entire operation took about 20 minutes and was ceased at 4pm. On a lighter note, the speaker was then found to still be usable despite the whole ordeal.
We’re definitely relieved to hear that the toddler was safe! Here’s a gentle reminder to be sure to keep an eye on your curious kids, as you may never know what kind of trouble they get themselves caught in!
