Muhammad Adib Muhammad Kassim, the Fire and Rescue Department personnel who was seriously injured after being beaten up by rioters in the wee hours of Tuesday, is out of danger.
Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin said this was conveyed to her by his doctor.
"Alhamdulillah, we received new information on Muhammad Adib. Dr Izani (sic) said that he is recovering very well.
"Passed through the danger zone. If yesterday (there was) only 40 percent chance of survival, now (it is) 70 percent," she said in a Twitter post.
Earlier, Zuraida was present when Adib was transferred from a private hospital in Subang Jaya to the National Heart Institute (IJN).
"They are still continuing the treatment and (will move) now on to the next phase," said Zuraida.
Early Monday morning, the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Subang Jaya was the scene of rioting after devotees and hired thugs clashed.
The temple was earmarked for relocation on Nov 22 following a consent judgment but could not proceed due to disagreements.
Thousands of supporters gathered near the temple in the wee hours of Tuesday to show support but fresh rioting broke out after some attacked Fire and Rescue Department personnel.
The Fire and Rescue Department said Adib was dragged out of his vehicle and beaten up.
He suffered multiple broken ribs, some of which punctured his organs. He is currently undergoing treatment at IJN. -Mkini
