Fireman Adib making progress

KUALA LUMPUR: Fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim, who suffered severe chest injuries during riots at the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, is showing further progress, said the Health Minister.

Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said the 24-year-old suffered from multiple rib fractures and pneumothorax (an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest), adding that a team of specialists at the National Heart Institute (IJN) were working round the clock to care for him.
