PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has expressed his deepest condolences on social media, voicing his grief over the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim.
“I am very sad to receive this news. May his soul be placed among the righteous. Takziah to the family of Allahyarham Muhammad Adib on his passing. Al-Fatihah,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
Muhammad Adib, 24, succumbed to his injuries after being allegedly attacked by a mob during last month’s Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple riots.
He passed away at 9.41pm at the National Heart Institute (IJN) on Monday (Dec 17).
On Sunday (Dec 16), IJN said that Muhammad Adib’s condition was critical after suffering progressive deterioration of his lung and kidney function over the past 24 hours.
He had suffered from fractured ribs and internal injuries, and was earlier treated at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) before being transferred to the IJN.
His remains will be brought back to his hometown in Kampung Tebengau, Kedah, after final rites and prayers are conducted at IJN on Monday night.
His burial is expected to take place after Zohor prayers on Tuesday (Dec 18).

Al-fatihah. https://t.co/QT5zmD8Ec1 — Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) December 17, 2018
