Punters make up the numbers at mortuary

IPOH: Four-digit lottery punters paid little respect for the dead, gathering at the mortuary to take down the registration number of the ill-fated bus, which crashed and killed 27 people on Monday.

The mortuary at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital was visited by strangers who did not have any business there.

One of them was seen calculating for at least 15 minutes in front of a white board with the names of the deceased written on it. In his hands were several 4D slips.

“I was here on Monday after the bus crash, but the numbers I placed my bets on were not the winning numbers. “So I’m back here to recalculate the numbers,” said the man.

A security guard stationed at the mortuary revealed that it was a norm for the mortuary to get such visitors even on days where there were no major accidents or disasters.

“They may be just trying their luck but they are actually being disrespectful to the dead,” he said.
