M’sians critical of SOP despite fire dept statement

PETALING JAYA: Despite the Fire and Rescue Department confirming all standard operating procedure (SOP) was adhered to in the Taman Putra Perdana mining pool rescue operation, it did not stop people from questioning and criticising what had gone wrong.

Many Malaysians asked how the operation, which saw six firemen drown, was conducted, whether it was appropriate for all of them to be tied together to a rope instead of separate ropes.
