A member of the patrol unit ran to the taxi and tried to help the victims but was unsuccessful. “There were loud noises coming from the engine and the fire spread quickly," said Supt Shafee. The patrol unit also tried to put out the fire but was unsuccessful and the car was burnt before he could call the police. Supt Shafee said police are still checking on the identity of the other victim. He urged those who have lodged a missing person report to contact the south Seberang Prai district police headquarters at 04-58582222.
