SEREMBAN: Police have recorded statements from nine individuals so far after a pupil fell into a sewage pit at a school in Lenggeng, Nilai, several days ago.
Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said those who have been questioned included the complainant, teachers and pupils from the school.
“We will also record four more statements from representatives of the Public Works Department, Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd and the National Water Services Commission.
“The investigation is ongoing under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611) and we urge the public to refrain from speculation as it may hinder investigation,” he told Bernama.
He added that there was no CCTV footage at the scene of the incident.
On Saturday, Abdul Fatah Khairol Rizal, 9, died after falling into a sewage pit at the school.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said on Sunday that the ministry, together with the Negri Sembilan Education Department, were responsible for conducting a thorough investigation into the tragedy.
She said a complete investigation report would be submitted soon for further action to prevent similar incidents in the future.
