The document is a speech advocating for swimming lessons to be included in the Malaysian education system. It tells a story of a boy who almost drowned and argues this could be prevented with swimming education. Statistics are presented showing high drowning rates in Asia, including Malaysia. The speaker urges that swimming provides health benefits and should not be seen as merely a leisure activity. Government-funded school swimming lessons are proposed as a way to give all Malaysian children the opportunity to learn this life-saving skill, since private lessons are too expensive for many families. The speech aims to convince the audience of the need to change the education system to reduce drowning and promote health through swimming education.
