KUALA LUMPUR — Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim, the fireman who was seriously injured in the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple fracas last month, died at the National Heart Institute (IJN) here tonight.
He breathed his last at 9.41 pm, Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin told reporters at the IJN.
She said Muhammad Adib’s remains would be taken to the Hang Tuah Fire and Rescue Station here tomorrow for his last alarm ceremony before being dispatched to his hometown in Kedah for burial after the Zohor prayer.
“May Allah bless his soul and place him among the pious,” the minister said.
Muhammad Adib, 24, was allegedly beaten up by several people on Nov 27 during the riots near the temple in Subang Jaya caused by a dispute over the proposed relocation of the house of worship.
He was initially admitted to the intensive care unit at the Ramsay Sime Darby Medical Centre, Subang Jaya, before being transferred to the IJN.
