The remains of Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim will be flown by helicopter from the Airod facility in Subang to Kedah and will be buried in Kampung Tebengau, Kuala Kedah, as requested by his family.

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Siti Hasmah paid their last respects to the fallen fireman at Subang this morning.

On arrival in Kedah, the last alarm ceremony would be conducted by FRD.

The burial is expected to be conducted after the zohor prayer today.

The 24-year-old firefighter died at 9.41pm at the IJN yesterday after he was allegedly beaten up by several people during the riots near the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in USJ25, Subang Jaya, on Nov 27. He was there in an operation to put out a fire in front of the premises.
