KLANG: The Sungai Pinang Fire and Rescue Department had to be called in to render a special service to transport an obese man weighing 220 kilograms to the hospital after he fell unconscious due to medicine overdose today.

Radhuan Abd Rashid, 49, had to be moved using the fire station's stretcher as the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) equipment could not hold his weight.

Sungai Pinang fire station chief Zaidi Ahtan said a call was received informing that Radhuan was found unconscious at about 10am in a room at a motel in Bandar Baru Klang.

"A team of seven firemen and officers were despatched to the motel to get Radhuan out of the motel as his weight made it difficult for hospital staff to move him to the lower ground floor. We took half an hour to take him down, then lifted him onto the ambulance to be sent to hospital," he said.

Zaidi said the joint operation with the hospital went smoothly, adding that his men took extreme care to ensure nothing untoward happened.
