PETALING JAYA: The two remaining victims who survived after allegedly taking ecstasy at the Pinkfish countdown concert on New Year's Eve are in stable condition.
Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the police are waiting for the doctor's clearance to interview and record their statements.
"They are still being treated in the intensive care unit and are still weak. We have to wait for the right time and the go-ahead from the doctor before we can record their statements," he said on Wednesday (Jan 8).
The police will ask the victims several questions, including where and from whom they bought the ecstasy pills, said ACP Wan Azlan.
"We are also waiting for the victims' toxicology reports," he added.
The police are working hard to collect actionable intelligence to identify those responsible for selling the ecstasy pills.
"So far, we have recorded the statements of 49 individuals, including the organiser, the victims' family members and friends, as well as medical personnel. We will investigate the matter further," he said.
It was reported that the police recorded the statement of the Pinkfish countdown concert's organiser on Monday (Jan 6) in connection with the deaths and injuries sustained by concert-goers.
The organiser's statement was recorded at the Subang Jaya district police headquarters.
Four local individuals died after attending the Pinkfish concert in Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya, on New Year's Eve. They are believed to have taken ecstasy.
Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the four, along with three others, fell unconscious after using drugs at the concert.
One of the victims who survived has already been discharged from the hospital.
He revealed that investigations showed all had consumed ecstasy pills at the event.
Comm Hussein mentioned that some victims might have bought the drugs before attending the concert, while others might have bought them there.
There are also suspicions that individuals were selling the drug at the concert.
Comm Hussein said the concert organiser failed to ensure the safety of concert-goers.
"We are also looking at whether the Pinkfish concert was overcapacity. We discovered that 14,000 tickets were sold. With security and first aid teams on scene, we believe more than 14,000 people were there that night," he said.
