Wait for Adib's post mortem report to determine the cause - Dr Lee

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 20): Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said the people should wait for the post mortem report first. "When there is a final decision, we will make the announcement."

He said this when commenting on the allegation of a lawyer who was reported to have disputed the cause of death for fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim. 

"We wait for the post-mortem report. Police are carrying out investigation.

"Of course, we have preliminary information that he was thrusted. Wait for the final decision," he said when approached by reporters after officiating the Vision Day programme of Kumpulan Perubatan Johor (KPJ) 2018, here yesterday. 

On Tuesday, several portals had reported the lawyer uploading a status in his facebook website which was believed to be referring to the death of the fireman. However, the lawyer did not state any name in the status.

Muhammad Adib, 24, who was serving as a member of the Emergency Medical Rescue Services of the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Station died at the National Heart Institute (IJN) at 9.41 pm on Monday after he was believed to have been assaulted in the rioting incident at the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Subang Jaya on Nov 27.
