What warning was given to the mob concerning the fireman?

Question

Accepted Answer

Multiple witnesses reported hearing warnings against assaulting the fireman.

A witness at the inquest into the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kasim testified that he heard multiple shouts in Tamil, "don't hit him," coming from a crowd gathered around the injured rescue worker. Another witness corroborated this, recalling people yelling in Malay, "jangan pukul, itu bomba," which translates to "Don't hit, they're firemen." These accounts suggest that some individuals present attempted to dissuade the mob from further harming the fireman.
Warnings in Tamil were heard

S. Suresh, a contractor, stated that as he approached his motorcycle, he observed a crowd of 20 to 30 people. He repeatedly heard them shouting in Tamil, "don't hit him, don't hit him." Upon moving closer, Suresh saw an individual, later identified as the fireman, sitting on the pavement and appearing unresponsive.
Malay warnings also indicated disapproval of assault

Another witness, R. Narresh, recounted hearing people shouting, "jangan pukul, itu bomba" as the fire engine arrived at the scene. This phrase directly translates to "Don't hit, they're firemen," indicating a clear warning against assaulting the rescue personnel.
One individual expressed disbelief at the potential assault

During the incident, one person within the gathered group was heard remarking in Tamil, "even the fireman they want to hit." This statement conveys a sense of astonishment and disapproval that the mob would target a fireman.
