The victim, suffered 100 per cent burns to his body and is currently being warded at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital.

The victim then ran and shortly fell into a drain which was about 50 metres from the petrol station.
The victim is now in critical condition following the burns he suffered. The police are in the process of identifying the victim's family with assistance from the Singapore consulate's office.
