The President said the incidents, including the death of a child injured in a road accident and a toddler who fell from a building, highlighted the need for greater public awareness and preventive measures.
He specifically called for increased attention to safety around windows, balconies and railings in high-rise buildings, while urging families and building managers to take proactive steps to protect children, persons with mental health conditions and persons with disabilities.
Muizzu also called on government institutions, corporations, civil society organisations and individuals to work together to strengthen safety measures and conduct public awareness programmes.
