Itaewon Halloween tragedy: Ismail Sabri express his condolences to South Korea

KUALA LUMPUR: The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today expressed his condolences to the people of South Korea regarding the tragedy of a stampede at a Halloween party in Itaewon District, Seoul, Saturday night.

“On behalf of the Malaysian government and people, I offer my condolences to the people of South Korea following the terrible tragedy in Itaewon, Seoul on 29 Oct.

“Our prayers and sympathies are with the victims and their families,” he said in a message on his Twitter account.

The tragedy on Saturday night occurred when a large crowd of Halloween party-goers crowded into a 3.2-meter-wide lane in Seoul’s entertainment district resulting in a deadly stampede, seen as the worst disaster in South Korean history since 2014 when the Sewol ferry sank in southern waters, killing 304 lives mostly high school students.
