SHAH ALAM - The Selangor state government warns that any theme park still operating without local authority approval must be ceased immediately.

State Local Government, Public Transport and New Village Development Committee chairman Ng Sze Han said that the Selangor state government was aware of an accident at a fun fair in Puncak Alam last night which saw three victims injured.

Ng said that the state government warned the operators and site owners not to conduct theme park activities without permission.

“The Selangor state government would like to warn theme park operators and site owners not to carry out theme park activities without obtaining the local authorities’ approval because it involves the safety of the public,” he said in a press statement today.

Ng said enforcement action had been taken by the Kuala Selangor Municipal Council, including imposing a compound and confiscating the fun fair.

He also stated that the local council had not permitted this theme park to open and that the state government was saddened about the three victims who were hurt during the incident.
