Possible negligence part of police probe into Help University blast


KUALA LUMPUR: Police will look at all angles when investigating the explosion at HELP University in Bukit Damansara, including the possibility of negligence, says Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus.

However, he said that police had to uncover any evidence indicating negligence.

"Such incidents require authorities to examine all aspects, including for negligence. If there is any element of negligence, appropriate action will be taken,: he said at a press conference here on Friday (Jan 16), adding that investigations are at an early stage and still classified as a sudden death case.

He added that both police and firemen have completed initial investigations at the scene and the building has since been handed back to the owner.

In the incident at around 11.40am on Monday (Jan 12), a man died and nine others were injured when an air conditioning compressor exploded.

The deceased, Soo Yu Juan, 24, was a third-year mechanical engineering student at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR).
