Singapore: All community centres and community clubs (CCs) here will each be equipped with two automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by the end of this year to be better prepared for emergencies. The People’s Association’s (PA) 1,500 staff working at the CCs have been trained to use the machines, which can save the lives of those suffering heart attacks.
