A tragic incident occurred at a water theme park in Tanjung Sepat, Banting, where a seven-year-old girl drowned in a pool. The Kuala Langat district police chief, Ahmad Ridhwan Mohd Nor, reported that a passerby discovered the unconscious victim at 1.28pm.

According to the police chief, the young girl was playing in the pool with her eight-year-old sister when the accident happened.
