KUCHING: The recent vandalism on a mural portrait of deceased firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim, was an irrational act, said Fire and Rescue director-general Datuk Mohammad Hamdan Wahid.
Commenting on the incident in Shah Alam, which began circulating on social media on Friday, Hamdan said as citizens of a developing nation, Malaysians should act rationally.
Speaking to the media at a celebration at the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department headquarters here today, he said if there was dissatisfaction with certain quarters, “this is not the correct way to express it.”
A member of the Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) unit at the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Station, Adib died a few weeks after sustaining injuries during a riot on the grounds of the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in USJ 25, in November last year.
The inquest into the cause of his death is still ongoing.
