00:00Police are awaiting the full medical report on balloon seller Muhammad Zaimuddin Azlan,
00:07who was injured during an altercation with Kuala Lumpur City Hall, DBKL, enforcement
00:12officers in late March.
00:14Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Rusdi Muhammad Isa said initial medical findings
00:21indicate a fracture and soft tissue injuries.
00:24However, the complete report is still pending.
00:27Commissioner Rusdi said the main focus of the investigation is on the injuries sustained
00:33by Muhammad Zaimuddin and how they occurred.
00:37Police have received four reports related to the incident, from DBKL, Muhammad Zaimuddin
00:42and his mother.
00:44Two investigation papers were opened based on the reports lodged by DBKL and have since
00:50been referred to the Attorney General's Chambers, AGC, while a third paper was opened based
00:56on the reports from Zaimuddin and his mother.
00:59Statements have been recorded from more than 12 individuals, including nine DBKL officers,
01:05Muhammad Zaimuddin, his mother, and a man who supplied him with balloons.
01:11Commissioner Rusdi also said police are probing Muhammad Zaimuddin's claim that DBKL officers
01:17failed to identify themselves before the confrontation.
01:21He noted that the officers were in plain clothes at the time, which is allowed under
01:26DBKL's standard operating procedures.
01:30During a press conference on Sunday, Muhammad Zaimuddin, accompanied by his mother, Hasna
01:36Mat Isa, said he was simply trying to earn a living for himself and his family when the
01:41incident occurred.
01:43His lawyer, Rafiq Rashid, said they are considering legal action once the full medical report
01:49is available.
01:51He confirmed they had obtained a discharge note from Serdang Hospital detailing medical
01:55issues linked to the altercation, adding that the full report could take up to a month.
02:00Rafiq also questioned claims that Muhammad Zaimuddin had a prior criminal record.
02:05The incident, which took place on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, drew public attention after
02:10a video went viral showing Muhammad Zaimuddin being tackled to the ground by several DBKL
02:16officers.
