00:00I would like to inform you that today is the third day of the search and rescue operation
00:23following the incident last Friday.
00:27The search continues today at Main Hall 5, near Agrobank, and Main Hall 6, near Kinabalu.
00:39The rescue team on the ground, namely the Malaysian Police, the Bombardier and Rescue Department,
00:45the Kuala Lumpur Airport, the Malaysian Defence Force, and the Bombardier and Rescue Department
00:49are conducting the search at Main Hall 5.
00:55The Bombardier and Rescue Department are also conducting the search at the endpoint, namely at Lodgy, Pantai Dalam.
01:02In addition, the UK will also carry out flushing operations in the vicinity.
01:08Flushing means that the UK has a complete mapping in this area
01:15and agrees to carry out an integrity test in this area.
01:20I have also discussed the terms of travel with the Sahabat Agency just now, before coming here.
01:27And based on the information that I obtained from the friends who attended the meeting this afternoon,
01:34the situation around Jalan Masjid India, especially Kuala Lumpur, is safe and under control to be visited.
01:43And the citizens can continue their daily routines as usual.
01:47For the record, DBKL has activated a task force with experts in the field of SAR,
01:54the Malaysian Police, the Bombardier and Rescue Department, the Malaysian Defence Force,
02:00including the Minerals and Geoscience Department.
02:03Meanwhile, in connection with the complaint, we also received a complaint about the leakage of water pipes.
02:09The water pipes have carried out repairs and the work has been completed.
02:19The victims who are still in Malaysia will be provided with food, accommodation and counselling.
02:27The PDRM will also cooperate with the High Commissioner of India for visa continuation.
02:34Has the 5th and 6th manholes been searched again?
02:39No, we did it following the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th manholes.
02:47After that, the Bombardier and the DBKL have also searched the inner beach.
02:55So, the level of search today in the 5th and 6th manholes is negative?
03:00Negative.
03:03We have completed the 5th and 6th manholes.
03:07Yesterday, we have completed all 6 manholes.
03:11We found that the 5th and 6th manholes have a slow flow.
03:16There is a possibility of brokage or debris.
03:20That's why we are doing a search in the 5th and 6th manholes today
03:24to make sure that there is nothing stuck.
03:29We have completed the 2nd and 2nd manholes, the 5th and 6th,
03:33about half an hour ago, and the result is negative.
03:36So, the flow is caused by debris?
03:40The possibility of debris and the possibility of anything that interferes with the flow of water.
03:48Since the 5th and 6th manholes are negative,
03:51there is a potential for the expansion of the scope of search in other areas.
03:58That's what we have suggested for flushing by the IWK.
04:05And on the other hand, the SER has also conducted a search in the inner beach lodges.
04:14Dato' Ceri, do you have any updates on the search?
04:20I and the SER will continue the search.
04:30Dato' Ceri, do you still have any updates?
04:34I don't have any updates.
04:38Can you explain more about the flushing?
04:41Flushing?
04:44In the water?
04:47We will hold it, then the water will rise,
04:51and when we open it again, the water will be flushed.
04:54So, we have a push factor there.
04:57So, we hold it here, starting from?
04:59From the 5th manhole.
05:03We will hold the water, the water will rise,
05:05and when we open it again, the water will be flushed.
05:07I would like to ask, sir, are you sure that the debris is a body that interferes with the blockage?
05:13Or is it just debris?
05:15Okay, that's why we are doing the search again.
05:17We want to make sure that there is no trace.
05:21So, in fact, it's negative.
05:25A little bit about the state of the rescue team on the third day, how was their condition?
05:30Especially the survivor.
05:32God willing, we will take care of it as best as we can.
05:34Because that's our principle.
05:36We have to make sure our survivors are safe.
05:39Because the visibility is zero?
05:42Yes.
05:43And how many toxic gases are inside?
05:46Wearing a mask and what are the procedures?
05:49We use breathing apparatus.
05:52And the EMS will be there with us.
05:56How many people were rescued today?
05:59Rescuers, how many people?
06:02Okay, for today's task, we have 104.
06:07The strength of all the friendly agencies that helped in today's task.
06:12The total number of rescuers is 104 people.
06:15Considering that the search will continue, but is there a set time for this operation?
06:22Three minutes a week?
06:24For now, we have not yet set how far we will continue this search.
06:30But we have agreed that we will continue this search until the victim is found.
06:38That's as far as I can tell.
06:41Do you have anything to say to the victim's family?
06:45Yes, of course.
06:46The family is the main witness.
06:49Especially those who walked with the victim.
06:51But, as far as I can explain,
06:57at one point, the victim's brother was walking in front of the victim.
07:04When the victim fell, he went to look and could not see the victim at all.
07:10That's as far as I can tell what was seen by the victim's brother.
07:16Is this a dry land?
07:20Or is it because of the mining on the land?
07:33What we have learned from the Mineral Geology Institute is that this is a dry land.
07:41Although I have set up a task force
07:46together with other institutions, such as the Mineral Geology Institute,
07:53to further investigate this area.
08:01The task force has been activated and will be done as soon as possible.
08:06Will the flushing be done today?
08:09Flushing?
08:10Today?
08:11Today.
08:12Flushing by IWK.
08:16Will it be done now?
08:18Or do you have preparations?
08:21One more question, Dato' Sri.
08:23There are rumours in social media that the population in Kuala Lumpur is in danger
08:29because of the potential for a giant hole and so on.
08:32This has caused concern among social media users.
08:35What are your comments on this viral incident?
08:40In my opinion, Kuala Lumpur has long been banned.
08:46All that's left is safety.
08:49If you want to say it's not safe, you have to show evidence.
08:55Therefore, we have set up a task force with the Mineral Geology Institute
09:05to investigate the situation.
09:10In my opinion, in terms of seriousness, Kuala Lumpur is still safe.
09:20Unless there is evidence that shows it's not safe.
09:30Thank you, Dato' Sri.
