00:00Regarding the Pink Fish investigation, which we investigated under the SDR,

00:06which involved the death of four people.

00:11So the police have almost finished the investigation,

00:15and we also found substance, MDMA, in the fourth person who died that day.

00:27So, the PDRM authorities, together with the local council,

00:35we do not want to prevent any concert arrangements.

00:41Concert arrangements are allowed, but we will set the conditions.

00:47In terms of the type of music that will be arranged,

00:51the number of visitors to the concert,

00:56and also...

00:58How many visitors can be released?

01:02Or can it be according to the location?

01:05It depends on each concert.

01:07So, we will look at the venue, the location of the venue,

01:11the location of the venue,

01:13the readiness of the visitors to provide the first aid team,

01:19in case of emergency,

01:22or the actions of the visitors themselves.

01:25We also need to alert the nearby hospitals.

01:30And most importantly, the PDRM authorities will put teams,

01:36especially the narcotics teams,

01:38to avoid or prevent the use of drugs,

01:44including the use of drugs during the concert.

01:49Does this mean that the narcotics team will conduct a thorough inspection

01:58before entering or throughout the concert?

02:03We will use the police's words,

02:07depending on the concert,

02:09but there will be violations during each concert.

02:13To avoid any drug use during the concert,

02:18or any drug use by any individual.

02:21So, for that purpose,

02:23the PDRM will, together with the local concerts in the near future,

02:27to carry out a more strict procedure.

02:33And also, together with the operators,

02:36we will have a session with the operators to explain

02:40the things that need to be avoided by the visitors,

02:44and also the things that they need to take action,

02:47if they want to conduct a concert

02:49that involves a large number of visitors.

02:54There are those who have received treatment,

02:57other than those who died,

02:59there are two who received treatment, right?

03:01Three.

03:02Three, right?

03:03So, those three people,

03:05do they also have...

03:07Yes.

03:08So, all three of them are positive?

03:10Yes.

03:11There are seven people involved.

03:13Those who have health problems.

03:16Of those seven, four died,

03:18and three received treatment.

03:21Okay.

03:22So, of those seven, there is a substance,

03:25a drug.

03:26Okay.

03:27A type of MDMA.

03:29Metamphetamine.

03:30Or, in the market language, it is an anesthetic pill,

03:34which is taken,

03:36and after the polypropylene system is obtained,

03:39there is a pill that is bought from outside.

03:41They bring it in.

03:43There is also a pill that is bought inside.

03:46So, in that concert,

03:48we have also caught three individuals

03:50who were involved in the sale

03:52of this anesthetic to these victims.

03:55So...

03:56So, is that really a pushover?

03:59How about those three?

04:01They are sellers.

04:02Sellers.

04:03Yes, both on a small scale,

04:04but in the concert, they sell to individuals.

04:07But they were in the concert?

04:09Those three?

04:10That...

04:11Ah...

04:14There were three of them.

04:15One of them was in the concert.

04:17Ah...

04:18The one who sold in the concert.

04:20But there were also these victims

04:22who bought it from outside,

04:23brought it into the concert.
