Question

Accepted Answer

APM Personnel's Access to the Ampang Landslide Site is Under Investigation

The clearance for APM personnel to enter the Taman Bukit Permai 2 landslide site is currently a subject of police investigation, following the circulation of a viral video. Seven APM officers and personnel, including a senior civil servant, were summoned to provide statements. The individual who initially viralised the video, a security guard and APM volunteer, was later detained after testing positive for methamphetamine and possessing an online gambling application on his mobile phone.
Investigation into Viral Video and APM Presence

Police initiated an investigation into a viral video that depicted an APM officer entering the landslide area, reportedly without authorisation. In the video, the APM officer questioned why police personnel, including Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Mohamad Farouk Eshak, were preventing the APM team from accessing the disaster zone. This incident occurred following a landslide in Taman Bukit Permai 2 on a Thursday evening, which tragically resulted in four fatalities, one injury, and affected numerous homes and vehicles.
APM Officer's Statement Recorded

The 38-year-old APM honorary officer, identified as a senior civil servant, provided his statement to the police. Following the recording of his statement, he was permitted to leave. The investigation involved five other male APM members who were present at the incident location and also attended the Ampang Jaya district police headquarters to assist the inquiry.
Viral Video Creator Detained

The individual responsible for viralising the video was identified as a 43-year-old security guard and an APM volunteer. After his statement was taken, he was detained by the police as he tested positive for methamphetamine. Furthermore, his mobile phone contained an application for online gambling. He is currently under a three-day remand to aid in the ongoing investigation.
