Three other people who attended the Pinkfish Countdown 2024 concert at Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach on Dec 31 also displayed the same symptoms, Hussein told the media, as reported by The Star. He did not elaborate on what the symptoms were.The seven victims had attended the concert, a 20-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur’s city centre, separately. Some were with friends while others were with family members. The police had received six police reports from Universiti Malaya Medical Centre and another from the Kuala Lumpur Hospital on the victims. Six witnesses have given statements and several others, including the concert organisers and victims’ friends, will be called to assist with investigations. Hussein also said the police are still determining if there was any criminal element involved, including whether the seven of them had been poisoned. He urged anyone with information about the case to contact Subang Jaya police or the nearest police stations.
