00:00With me this morning at 12 o'clock is the Director of Bombs and Rescue Department, Mr. Haji Nordin.

00:11With me is the CEO of Indawater, Mr. Sitiam W.K.

00:16He is also the Director of Bombs and Rescue Department, Mr. Anwar.

00:21We have been working for a long time to rescue the victims of this incident.

00:30We have discussed the search efforts.

00:35So far, we have failed to identify the victim.

00:40The victim is 48 years old.

00:42At the place where the victim fell, we have conducted a 100% search.

00:47Bombs and rescue units have entered.

00:50I can tell you that the victim is not there.

00:54Tomorrow, we will stop the operation.

00:57Because the time is not suitable.

00:59It's raining and we need to go inside through the bomb drainage.

01:04We will stop until 12.30 am.

01:08We will continue tomorrow at 9 am.

01:11We will enter the IWK hall one by one.

01:15If we look at the drainage, it can reach the beach.

01:21The distance is about 7 km.

01:23Even so, I would like to ask the authorities.

01:27This place is safe.

01:29But if possible, reduce the movement.

01:32I would like to ask the police to put the control here.

01:38We will rearrange it before we start tomorrow.

01:43How far is the rescue unit moving?

01:47It's in that area.

01:49How far is it? Is there a certain distance?

01:53There are many holes.

01:55We will open the hole.

01:59Until the hole reaches the tunnel at the beach.

02:05We will check every hole.

02:08The distance is about 7 km.

02:11Reduce the movement. Is there a risk?

02:15So far, it's safe.

02:18But don't take it lightly.

02:20It's better to take the necessary steps to reduce the movement.

02:25We saw a BPJ going to another place.

02:28Is it going to another location?

02:30We have a rescue station nearby.

02:32If it enters the tunnel,

02:37it can take up to 6-7 hours.

02:41The IWK will be at the location.

02:44We don't know if it will be there at night.

02:47It's not easy to enter the tunnel.

02:49We have to open it one by one.

02:51Besides the narrow area, what other challenges do you face?

02:53Is there a heavy flow below?

02:55Yes, of course.

02:56There is a heavy flow below.

02:58There is also gas below.

03:00This is a floodwater.

03:02Floodwater is dangerous to our health.

03:07There are no signs or signs here.

03:10Do you have slippers?

03:12We believe there are slippers.

03:14One or a pair?

03:15A pair.

03:17Did we take the slippers?

03:19How far is the tunnel?

03:21It's over there.

03:23What color is it?

03:25I don't know.

03:27How many scuba divers have entered the tunnel?

03:32How many?

03:34Six.

03:36How far is the tunnel from here to the IWK?

03:39How many stations are there?

03:41The tunnel is 7km long.

03:45There are many tunnels 7km long.

03:48We will open all the tunnels.

03:51We have started to open the tunnel just now.

03:53We haven't found anything yet.

03:56If there is a tunnel, it will be connected to the IWK.

04:02If there is no tunnel?

04:04If there is no tunnel, it will be connected to the IWK.

04:08If there is a tunnel, it will be connected to the IWK.

04:12Can the tunnel allow an individual to pass through it?

04:17The tunnel is 1.5m long.

04:23The end of the tunnel is 3.3m long.

04:26It's a big pipe.

04:28This pipe used to supply water to the city of Kuala Lumpur.

04:33Okay, that's enough.

04:37Don't disturb his family.

04:39Don't go there. Don't take pictures.

04:41He will be sad.

04:43We have to take care of his sensitivity.

04:45That's one of the supports we give to him.

04:49Will the tunnel be connected to the IWK?

04:52It will be connected to the IWK.

04:55We will open the tunnel at 9.00 a.m.
