In response to the video, police said that they are currently investigating the video.

Subang Jaya Deputy Chief, Supt. Mohd Fairus Jaafar added that action has been taken after they received information about the video uploaded by a Facebook page named “Rizal Hakimm Punyer”.

No breach of SOPs for now

Mohd Fairus also said that no police report has been lodged against the amusement park so far.

According to the preliminary investigation, there were a total of 3,513 visitors spotted at the park on the date of the incident where the Theme Park can actually accommodate up to 40,000 visitors at a time.

“This is below the capacity allowed (20,000 pax) according to the SOP of the fourth phase of the National Recovery Plan (PPN),” he said.

He also urged the public who have more information on the case to contact the Subang Jaya District Control Center at 03-56210343.
