SUBANG JAYA - Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia, Datuk Mohamad Hamdan Wahid menyatakan anggotanya, Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim ditarik perusuh di kawasan Kuil Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman ketika pasukannya berundur dari lokasi.
Katanya, dua jentera bomba termasuk van Bantuan Perkhidmatan Kecemasan (EMRS) yang dinaiki Muhammad Adib telah diserang dengan balingan batu dan objek menyebabkan berlaku kerosakan pada cermin dan badan kenderaan itu.
Jelasnya, dalam situasi panik untuk berundur, mangsa telah ditarik keluar dari tempat duduk penumpang van EMRS oleh perusuh dan dipercayai dipukul sehingga tidak sedarkan diri.
Berikut merupakan kronologi kejadian berdasarkan kenyataan Mohamad Hamdan:
"Kejadian yang berlaku ke atas pegawai bomba, Muhammad Adin ini adalah ekoran daripada operasi untuk pemadaman kebakaran yang berlaku di kawasan kuil Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman. Mereka ini adalah kumpulan EMRS dan responder untuk pemadaman daripada Balai Bomba Subang Jaya.
Sebenarnya panggilan diterima pada jam 1 pagi. Respond adalah dua jentera unit Fire Rescure Tender FRT yang terdiri daripada tujuh krew di mana satu komander dan lima krew di jentera yang depan dan juga di jentera EMRS di belakangnya terdiri daripada dua krew iaitu pemandu dan responder di sebelahnya.
Untuk sampai di lokasi biasanya mereka akan guna jalan besar tetapi oleh kerana mereka dah buat satu kajian risiko kawasan dan dapati bahawa untuk pegi sampai ke lokasi, jalan singkat adalah menggunakan jalan dalam.
Panggilan ini adalah melalui MERS 999. Bila sampai di lokasi dah hampir kepada simpang, berlakunya kebakaran. Pasukan petugas dah mula nampak api.
Biasanya kita akan tempatkan jentera kereta berdekatan dengan sumber. Jadi ada jaraknya untuk melaksanakan tugasan. Bila mereka berhenti untuk keluar, krew di sebelah kiri dan kanan jentera FRT yang berada di hadapan keluar dari jentera dan mendapati orang perseorangan atau kumpulan tiba-tiba ramai menghampiri mereka.
Atas arahan komander supaya berundur dan masuk balik ke dalam jentera. Ketika itu mereka telah menerima lontaran batu, kayu dan besi daripada kumpulan ini menyebabkan kerosakan seperti cermin pecah, badan jentera rosak.
Bila jentera hadapan berundur, jentera di belakang turut sama undur tetapi sedikit terheret ke tepi. Ketika itulah mereka tidak lagi boleh mengelak dan kenderaan EMRS telah diserang.
Umum tahu jentera EMRS ini hanya sebuah van ambulan bagi tujuan menyelamat. Dengan kata lain badanya tidak keras dan cermin mudah pecah. Ketika ini van EMRS mula untuk memecut keluar dari lokasi dan keadaan begitu kelam kabut.
Dalam keadaan itu, kumpulan itu dapat menarik Muhammad Adib. Pemandu EMRS dalam keadaan trauma memecut keluar dari lokasi kejadian bersama FRT ke Balai Bomba Subang Jaya tanpa menyedari Muhammad Adib tiada bersama mereka.
Bukan mereka tinggalkan Muhammad Adib. Pasukan petugas ini ketika berada di Balai Bomba Subang Jaya membuat panggilan kepada mangsa tetapi telefonnya dijawab oleh orang awam yang menyatakan mereka dalam perjalanan ke hospital terdekat.
Be strong and healthy again’

SUBANG JAYA: Critically injured fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim is due to be married next month and all his fiancee wants is for him to regain his strength for the lovebirds to mark the momentous occasion together.
Nurul Najihah Mohd Radzi, 25, was anxiously awaiting news about her fiance after he was wheeled into the intensive care unit of Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care here yesterday morning.
“I want him to be strong and healthy again,” said the retail executive.
Muhammad Adib, 24, was critically injured in the line of duty after he and his fellow firemen responded to an emergency at the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple on Monday night.
The pandemonium at the temple first started in the wee hours of Monday following a scuffle between two rival groups on the site over the temple’s relocation from USJ 25 to USJ 23.
The chaos continued on Monday night, during which Muhammad Adib was pulled by one of the rioters from the emergency vehicle he was in and attacked, causing him to suffer broken ribs and other internal injuries.
Nurul Najihah had, in a posting on Facebook earlier, prayed for her beloved to regain consciousness.
“You are strong. Get up quick, please. Pray for my fiance ... I am not strong enough to watch you like this,” she said.
Nurul Najihah told the media that she first realised her fiance was in trouble when she woke at 3am to see that she had missed a call from his teammate.
“I was asleep when he called me as I had taken some flu medication,” she said.
Her fears were confirmed when she returned the teammate’s call.
She then rushed to the medical centre.
“The last time I saw him was when we had dinner together at about 6pm on Monday before he reported for his 8pm shift,” she said.
Although little has changed since he was brought in to the unit, Nurul Najihah took solace in knowing that some of Muhammad Adib’s swellings had subsided.
On her Facebook page, Nurul also posted pictures of the incident, showing the wrecked vehicle that was damaged by rioters.

Also included were two pictures of her fiance, suave in his bomba uniform and smiling at the camera.
Malaysians who read her post wished the couple their best, leaving comments such as “May God take care of him” and “We are all praying for his speedy recovery”.
Malaysian leaders are also hoping for Muhammad Adib to pull through as many of them, including Zuraida Kamaruddin whose Housing and Local Government Ministry oversees the Fire and Rescue Department, went to the hospital to visit him.
“He is now in critical condition and on life support,” she told reporters, adding that there were injuries to his chest which were causing him breathing difficulty.
“It appears like he was hit and stomped on, which caused his ribs to fracture and puncture his lungs,” she said.
Zuraida said the incident should serve as a lesson to Malaysians to not take the law into their own hands.
She also said she would stand as a guarantor for the family to help pay for Muhammad Adib’s medical bills.
Other leaders who visited Muhammad Adib included Selangor Mentri Besar Amirudin Shari and MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran.
Although overwhelmed by emotions over the incident, his fellow teammates gathered at the hospital to pray for his condition to improve.
It has been a difficult time for the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department, which only last month lost six personnel after they perished during a mission to rescue a teenager who had fallen into a mining pool in Puchong.
