Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who was at a press conference on Sept 22 to offer his condolences, said: “We will investigate further about the contractor for the area of the accident as there have been many reports of accidents in that particular area. Action will be taken if this is found to be the contractor’s fault.”
Lim also offered cash aid of RM 1,000 to the family.
The victim’s brother, Halil Sabri Hamid, who was present to receive the aid from Lim, expressed his gratitude to the state government for its kindness and for caring for the safety of the people.
