The Selangor government is currently awaiting a technical report regarding an incident at the Sunway Lagoon amusement park that resulted in injuries to ten individuals. According to Menteri besar Amirudin Shari, the investigation will continue once the report is received from the police.

Reports from the Selangor Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) indicate that the roller coaster malfunctioned due to a 'sliding failure', which triggered its emergency braking system. This failure occurred after the ride had traveled approximately 200 meters from the launch area, leading to the automatic activation of the emergency brakes.

The JKKP Selangor confirmed that the emergency braking system was activated due to the mechanical issue, which caused the injuries. Further details regarding the incident are expected once the technical report is made available to the authorities.
