: The inquest into the death of firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim today took a dramatic turn when the lawyer representing the Housing and Local Government Ministry, the Fire and Rescue Department and Adib’s family withdrew from the proceedings.
Coroner Rofiah then said the inquest could not proceed without a new lawyer being appointed and set June 26 for case mention, at which point the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the housing and local government ministry must bring forth a new legal counsel. During the riot, Adib sustained severe injuries and was hospitalised for three weeks, before succumbing to his injuries on Dec 17.
