Fortunately, fate smiled upon the child as a nearby man quickly noticed the incident and rushed to her rescue.
The incident gained attention after this tweet by @mynewshub, prompting netizens to emphasize the importance of using specialized swimming attire, particularly the swimming tudung designed for safety.
"Avoid swimming with regular tudung; opt for modest swimwear. A wet tudung covering the face can lead to drowning. It's also known as 'waterboarding'," cautioned one netizen, shedding light on the potential risks associated with conventional clothing during water activities.
This incident serves as a reminder for individuals, especially those with cultural considerations, to prioritize safety by choosing appropriate swimwear to prevent accidents and ensure enjoyable water experiences.
