(Viral) Sunway Lagoon Under Investigation Over Large Gathering At Theme Park

The police has revealed that they will be conducting a detailed investigation into viral videos showing a large crowd of people that had gathered at the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park in Subang Jaya over the past weekend.

Subang Jaya’s Deputy Chief of Police, Supt. Mohd Fairus Jaafar, revealed that the action was taken after the authorities received some intel from the video which went viral on social media after it was uploaded on the FB page “Rizal Hakimm Punyer”.

“There were a total of 3,513 visitors spotted at the water theme park last Saturday (6th November), which is the date of the incident. Preliminary investigation found that Sunway Lagoon Theme Park can accommodate up to 40,000 visitors at a time, while the capacity allowed according to the SOP of the fourth phase of the National Rehabilitation Plan (PPN) is 20,000 people,” the police official stated.

Mohd Fairus added that his team will conduct a detailed investigation on the case, and also will take appropriate action in case any violations of the SOP took place, though no police report has been lodged regarding the incident. “We urge those who have more information on the case over the incident to contact the Subang Jaya District Control Center at 03-56210343 for further action,” he said.

At the time of writing, Sunway Lagoon has yet to release any statement to address the situation on their social media accounts. It’s scary to see such large crowds in close proximity, given that the pandemic in Malaysia is far from over.
