The Pinkfish management said the safety of attendees and other stakeholders had always been their highest priority in holding the countdown concert.

It said it would fully cooperate with the authorities in their probe into the deaths.

“(We) take note of the police’s confirmation that these deaths occurred outside the event’s premises.

“We are working closely with the relevant agencies to provide the necessary support to those affected, including the families of the deceased,” it said in a statement.

The management said it had taken precautionary measures for the event, including having more than 100 policemen present as well as security personnel and K9 units at entry points.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the four individuals during this difficult time,” it said.

Yesterday, Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said Universiti Malaya Medical Centre had filed four police reports concerning the deaths of the four Malaysians – two men and two women, in their 20s to 40s.

Investigations found that all four had attended the Pinkfish concert at Sunway Lagoon in Subang Jaya on Dec 31. Checks on their bodies found no signs of external injuries.

Hussein said the case had been classified as sudden death but further investigations were ongoing to determine if there was any criminal element behind their deaths, including whether they had been poisoned.
