KUALA LUMPUR: The special committee tasked to look into the death of fireman Adib Mohd Kassim has decided to seek cooperation from the public who may have any information, photographic evidence or videos of the Nov 27, 2018 incident.

Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, who heads the committee, said those who did not have the opportunity to come forward to provide information can contact the secretariat at the Legal Affairs Division.

Members of the public can contact Yusof Ali at 03-8885-1920 or email yusof.ali@bheuu.gov.my, or Sanjeetha Nair at 03-8885-1209 or email sanjeetha.nair@bheuu.gov.my, he said.

Wan Junaidi also said the committee had received an interim report from the special technical committee on the fireman’s death.

“This interim report is based on existing information as well as the actions taken by the technical committee in obtaining further facts related to this case,” he said.

According to Wan Junaidi, the fact-finding process had been carried out intensively since last January with the cooperation of the police, the fire and rescue department, and the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

“This process is important to ensure that the reports produced can be translated in a transparent and fair manner,” he said.

The interim report, which was completed within three months of the date of the establishment of the technical committee, was presented by committee secretary P Sundramoorthy. - FMT
