The Public Relations Cell of the Malaysian Army Headquarters has confirmed that a soldier died from random gunfire while undergoing training in the Song area of Sarawak early yesterday morning.

According to the statement, the victim was from the 9th Brigade formation in Sibu and was scheduled for training from September 21 to 29.

The incident occurred at approximately 2:45 AM while the platoon was resting.

"The soldiers heard the sound of a motorcycle on an unpaved road near their location, followed by the sudden sound of gunfire.

"Immediate action was taken to check the perimeter, and it was found that one soldier had sustained injuries from the gunfire," the statement said last night.

It added that the injured soldier received initial treatment at the scene before being rushed to the Song Health Clinic at 4 AM, and then referred to Kapit Hospital for further treatment at 5 AM.

However, the soldier was confirmed dead at 7:43 AM at the hospital due to the injuries sustained.

"The police have received a report regarding this incident, and an investigation by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is currently underway.

"The Malaysian Army urges the public not to disseminate any images or information related to this incident in order to allow space for the investigation and to respect the relatives and families who are grieving," it stated.

The management of the soldier's remains will be handled after the post-mortem process is completed, and the family members in Sarikei, Sarawak, have been informed of the incident, with the burial location to be announced later.

"The Malaysian Army also expresses condolences to the affected relatives and families and prays for their strength in facing this trial," it concluded.
