00:00With me this morning at 12 o'clock is the Director of Bombs and Rescue Department, Mr. Haji Nordin.
00:11With me is the CEO of Indawater, Mr. Sitiam W.K.
00:16He is also the Director of Bombs and Rescue Department, Mr. Anwar.
00:21We have been working for a long time to rescue the victims of this incident.
00:30We have discussed the search efforts.
00:35So far, we have failed to identify the victim.
00:40The victim is 48 years old.
00:42At the place where the victim fell, we have conducted a 100% search.
00:47Bombs and rescue units have entered.
00:50I can tell you that the victim is not there.
00:54Tomorrow, we will stop the operation.
00:57Because the time is not suitable.
00:59It's raining and we need to go inside through the bomb drainage.
01:04We will stop until 12.30 am.
01:08We will continue tomorrow at 9 am.
01:11We will enter the IWK hall one by one.
01:15If we look at the drainage, it can reach the beach.
01:21The distance is about 7 km.
01:23Even so, I would like to ask the authorities.
01:27This place is safe.
01:29But if possible, reduce the movement.
01:32I would like to ask the police to put the control here.
01:38We will rearrange it before we start tomorrow.
01:43How far is the rescue unit moving?
01:47It's in that area.
01:49How far is it? Is there a certain distance?
01:53There are many holes.
01:55We will open the hole.
01:59Until the hole reaches the tunnel at the beach.
02:05We will check every hole.
02:08The distance is about 7 km.
02:11Reduce the movement. Is there a risk?
02:15So far, it's safe.
02:18But don't take it lightly.
02:20It's better to take the necessary steps to reduce the movement.
02:25We saw a BPJ going to another place.
02:28Is it going to another location?
02:30We have a rescue station nearby.
02:32If it enters the tunnel,
02:37it can take up to 6-7 hours.
02:41The IWK will be at the location.
02:44We don't know if it will be there at night.
02:47It's not easy to enter the tunnel.
02:49We have to open it one by one.
02:51Besides the narrow area, what other challenges do you face?
02:53Is there a heavy flow below?
02:55Yes, of course.
02:56There is a heavy flow below.
02:58There is also gas below.
03:00This is a floodwater.
03:02Floodwater is dangerous to our health.
03:07There are no signs or signs here.
03:10Do you have slippers?
03:12We believe there are slippers.
03:14One or a pair?
03:15A pair.
03:17Did we take the slippers?
03:19How far is the tunnel?
03:21It's over there.
03:23What color is it?
03:25I don't know.
03:27How many scuba divers have entered the tunnel?
03:32How many?
03:34Six.
03:36How far is the tunnel from here to the IWK?
03:39How many stations are there?
03:41The tunnel is 7km long.
03:45There are many tunnels 7km long.
03:48We will open all the tunnels.
03:51We have started to open the tunnel just now.
03:53We haven't found anything yet.
03:56If there is a tunnel, it will be connected to the IWK.
04:02If there is no tunnel?
04:04If there is no tunnel, it will be connected to the IWK.
04:08If there is a tunnel, it will be connected to the IWK.
04:12Can the tunnel allow an individual to pass through it?
04:17The tunnel is 1.5m long.
04:23The end of the tunnel is 3.3m long.
04:26It's a big pipe.
04:28This pipe used to supply water to the city of Kuala Lumpur.
04:33Okay, that's enough.
04:37Don't disturb his family.
04:39Don't go there. Don't take pictures.
04:41He will be sad.
04:43We have to take care of his sensitivity.
04:45That's one of the supports we give to him.
04:49Will the tunnel be connected to the IWK?
04:52It will be connected to the IWK.
04:55We will open the tunnel at 9.00 a.m.
