SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government has yet to receive any feedback from the police on the progress of the investigation into the case involving Selangor FC player Muhammad Faisal Halim, the Selangor state assembly was told on Friday (Nov 22).
State Youth, Sports and Entrepreneurship Committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi said that they are still awaiting information after an emergency motion to condemn the extreme and violent action against the sportsman was unanimously approved at the previous session.
"As of now, we are still unaware of the status of Faisal Halim’s case, and the last information we received was that the Speaker (Lau Weng San) had written to the police notifying them of the motion that was unanimously agreed upon in the last session,” he explained.
He was responding to a question from Mohd Shafie Ngah (PN-Sungai Ramal), who inquired about the progress of the case involving the Red Giants’ stalwart.
At the previous session, an emergency motion to condemn acts of extreme violence against athletes was unanimously approved by the Selangor assembly which, among other things, called for a thorough investigation into the attack and the findings to be disclosed to the public.
On May 5, 26-year-old Faisal Halim suffered fourth-degree burns on several parts of his body after being doused with acid by an unknown individual at a shopping mall in Kota Damansara and had to be treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for about 10 days. – Bernama
