JOHOR BARU: A 42-year-old Singaporean man is now in critical condition after suffering burns to his body after he set himself on fire near a petrol pump station at Century Gardens here today.
The victim, whose name was withheld pending investigations, suffered 100 per cent burns to his body and is currently being warded at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital.
Initial investigations revealed that the victim had used a four-litre oil bottle to buy petrol on the pretext that his car had broken down at the station at 9.20am.
Following that, he walked off from the petrol station while dousing himself with petrol and lighting himself with a cigarette lighter.
The victim, who was in flames, then ran and shortly fell into a drain which was about 50 metres from the petrol station.
Johor Baru Selatan police chief Assistant Commissioner Sulaiman Salleh confirmed the incident.
“The victim is now in critical condition following the burns he suffered. We (police) are in the process of identifying the victim's family with assistance from the Singapore consulate's office,” he said.
