MELAKA - Seramai 15 pelajar yang sedang mengikuti perkhemahan pengakap di Pangkalan Badak Bukit Katil di sini dikejarkan ke Hospital Melaka selepas dipercayai terkena arus petir petang semalam.
Kesemua mereka merupakan pelajar Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan St. Francis yang mengikuti perkhemahan bermula hari ini hingga 14 April depan bersama 569 pelajar sekolah seluruh negeri Melaka.
Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam yang mengesahkan kejadian tersebut berkata kesemua pelajar itu mengadu sakit badan selepas kejadian panahan petir di kawasan perkhemahan itu kira-kira 5.30 petang tadi.
Beliau bagaimanapun berkata kesemua pelajar berkenaan tidak mengalami kecederaan serius namun dikejarkan ke hospital bagi menerima pemeriksaan lanjut selepas dipercayai terkena arus petir yang mengalir di kawasan berkenaan.
"Kesemua pelajar terbabit nampaknya bersemangat untuk meneruskan perkhemahan,” katanya yang melawat mangsa di Hospital Melaka di sini semalam.
Katanya ibu bapa pelajar yang terlibat dalam perkhemahan tersebut dinasihatkan agar tidak berasa bimbang dengan keadaan anak masing-masing kerana perkhemahan itu diselia dan dipantau oleh Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) yang mempunyai pengalaman luas dengan aktiviti seumpama itu.
Sementara itu, seorang mangsa, Mohd Syukri Shammuhari, 16, berkata sebelum kejadian kesemua pelajar sedang mengikuti latihan bagi upacara pembukaan perkhemahan itu esok.
Bagaimanapun katanya kesemua pelajar lari ke khemah masing-masing selepas hujan lebat sebelum berlaku kejadian petir.
"Saya berasa seolah-olah seperti terkena renjatan elektrik di bahagian kaki dan badan,” katanya.
Mohd Syukri yang bersyukur kerana tidak mengalami kecederaan serius berkata dia akan meneruskan perkhemahan tersebut sehingga hari terakhir. — BERNAMA

So far, only one student is still warded at the hospital.
One of the students Mohd Faisal Othman, 15, said they were having a marching practice when it started to drizzle.
“The lightning struck and we all started screaming from the jolt,” he said.
Malaysia has the second highest number of lightning strikes in the world and is known as Asia's lightning capital.

Fifteen students from SMK St Francis here suffered injuries after they were struck by lightning during a thunderstorm yesterday.
The boys, aged between 14 and 17, were taking part in a week-long training camp, organised by the Malaysian United Cadets Association, at Pengkalan Badak, Bukit Katil, near here, when the incident occurred at 5.30pm.
The boys, along with 580 other students from 17 secondary schools in Malacca, were on the first day of training and were given a break to return to their respective tents.
When the storm got worse, they ran out of their tents to take shelter at the main tent but were hit by lightning.
Those affected complained of numbness, erratic heartbeat and breathing difficulties, and were taken to the Malacca Hospital.
While 14 boys were allowed to return home, one was warded for observation after he complained of chest pains.
When met at the hospital, one of the students' mother, Muliati Abdullah, 41, from Bandar Hilir, said her son, Mohd Danish Azilan, 14, was in stable condition.
"I almost fainted when I got the call about my son at 7pm. I am so relieved when I saw that he is all right.
"He initially felt some numbness and could not breathe but he is slowly feeling better now."
Mohd Faisal Othman, 15, from Bachang near here, said he did not know what had hit him at first.
"Today was the our first day at camp but we were sent back to our tents when it started raining. Suddenly, I heard a loud clap of thunder and saw a tree go down.
"The next thing I knew, I was flat on my back."
Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, who had earlier visited the site, rushed to the hospital to check on the students.
"I'm relieved that the boys had not suffered serious injuries and are now in stable condition.
"I would also like to praise the organisers of the camp for their quick action in taking them to the hospital and contacting the victims' parents."
It is learnt the training camp will continue as planned.
