00:00Please don't block the view.
00:03I can't see the view, please.
00:10Peace be upon you.
00:13Thank you to all the media.
00:15I have just touched down from Kuching.
00:18I came straight here to get information and do a briefing.
00:23I came to visit this incident area.
00:31We already know what happened.
00:34In my briefing, I got direct information from the authorities...
00:39...regarding the ICR here.
00:43We were told that the victim's body hasn't been found yet.
00:52We will continue our investigation...
00:55...regarding the responsible parties...
00:58...including the bombers...
01:01...and the IWK, the police and the BKL...
01:04...to continue our investigation.
01:07We have two more men who will be...
01:12...investigating the victim.
01:18That's what I was told.
01:22I also visited the victim's family...
01:25...who are still waiting with hope.
01:28We will help the victim's family...
01:32...regarding their emotions.
01:35We will ask the KKM...
01:39...to provide counselling...
01:44...so that they can be more stable.
01:48We will leave the rest to the family...
01:53...and the ambassador to help the family.
01:59As I said, we will continue our investigation...
02:02...regarding the two more men...
02:07...and the pool at the beach.
02:14If the victim hasn't been found yet...
02:19...we will continue our investigation.
02:23We still don't know how long...
02:28...the investigation will last.
02:32Finally, I would like to advise the public...
02:36...not to come to this area...
02:41...after what happened today.
02:46The situation is under control.
02:48We are asking you to stay safe...
02:52...and try to stay away from this area.
02:57Do you have any update on the victim's family?
03:04I haven't received the full report yet.
03:07We are waiting for the full report...
03:11...from the authorities.
03:13What is the source?
03:14We don't know the source yet.
03:17There are many speculations...
03:19...but we will determine the source...
03:24...after the full report.
03:28We will wait for the full report...
03:31...and see what the authorities have to say.
03:36What is the purpose of this investigation?
03:40Is it to investigate the pool incident?
03:44That is the purpose.
03:46We will map the area...
03:50...and get information from the authorities...
03:54...including the geologists.
03:57We will see how to proceed...
04:01...to ensure the safety of this area...
04:06...as well as the area around Kuala Lumpur.
04:09Mayor Dato' Banda said...
04:12...the area is open for business...
04:14...but he wants to close half of the area...
04:17...so that people can come and go.
04:19Where?
04:20Around here.
04:22We will keep an eye on the area.
04:27For your information...
04:29...we don't intend to close the area completely.
04:32As far as I know...
04:34...some of the main halls have been opened.
04:36There are guests from Aikumbahan...
04:40...who may be a risk to the business.
04:43The main hall is close to the restaurants.
04:46While the business is running...
04:48...we ask for a temporary closure.
04:50Once the business is back to normal...
04:52...we will not close the area completely.
04:54We don't want to interfere with the business.
04:58Where is the main hall?
05:02The main hall is in a line...
05:04...all the way to Lembah Pantai.
05:06The area around the building...
05:08...and the main hall.
