A fire killed at least 23 students and 2 teachers at Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah school in Kuala Lumpur on September 14th.
25 victims, mostly students, were killed after a blaze broke out, the deadliest fire in decades in Malaysia.
Hundreds of people, including the families of some victims, gathered outside the school as more bodies were being removed by fire officials.
"The number of confirmed dead are 23 students and two wardens," Khirudin Drahman, director of Kuala Lumpur's fire and rescue department told AFP.
The fire started early on the top floor of a three-story building that may have been used as a dormitory for the students.
According to a fire department statement, the fire also left seven people injured and taken to hospital, with another 11 people rescued from the building.
In October last year, six people died in a blaze that swept through the intensive care unit of a major hospital in Johor./.
