In a statement today, JPPKK said both institutions would leave the investigation into the death of the POLISAS Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management student entirely to the authorities.
“JPPKK and POLISAS will continue to provide due attention, support and assistance to the deceased’s family. Any further information will be announced from time to time,” it said.
