PETALING JAYA: A woman in her 20s sustained minor injuries when a water slide float fell from its hanger and struck her while she was walking beneath the slide at i-City’s theme park in Shah Alam on Wednesday.
“A float suddenly fell from its hanger and hit the side of her body,“ Shah Alam district police chief assistant commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim told New Straits Times.
The woman underwent a medical examination, which confirmed that her injuries were not severe.
He also mentioned that the theme park in question had been previously fined by the Shah Alam city council (MBSA) in November for constructing the park without the necessary written approval.
