He also revealed that, according to information from Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM), two other victims who displayed similar symptoms to those of the deceased have regained consciousness, but remain in a weak condition.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the four victims who died after the New Year's Eve concert may have consumed ecstasy.

The management added that they had taken precautionary measures for the event, which included the presence of over 100 policemen as well as security personnel and K9 units at the entry points.

They also pledged full cooperation with the ongoing police investigation.
