The school holiday season began with a tragedy last night (December 12) at a fun fair in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam when three, including a child, were injured after falling from a ride that was still in motion.

Initial investigations revealed that the victims comprised of two women and a child, who were later brought to Shah Alam hospital for further treatment, according to Ramli. According to a report by Astro Awani, the case will be investigated according to Section 6 of the Selangor State Entertainment & Places of Entertainment Enactment 1995 for operating without a license.
