SEREMBAN, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Police have recorded statements from nine individuals so far in relation to the tragic incident where a pupil fell into a sewage pit at a school in Lenggeng, Nilai, two days ago.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said those who have been questioned include the complainant, teachers, and pupils from the school.
“We will also record four more statements today from representatives of the Public Works Department (JKR), Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK), and the National Water Services Commission (SPAN),
”The investigation is ongoing under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611) and we urge the public to refrain from speculation, as it may hinder the investigation process,” he told Bernama here today.

Last Saturday, Year 3 pupil Abdul Fatah Khairol Rizal died after falling into a sewage pit at the school.
Yesterday, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the ministry, together with the Negeri Sembilan Education Department, is fully responsible for conducting a thorough investigation into the tragedy.
She assured that a complete investigation report would be submitted soon for further action to prevent similar incidents in the future.
