Saifulnizam Sulaiman, 39, learned of a tragic tanker crash involving his wife and son after hearing about it on social media. The incident occurred at Km9 of Jalan Temerloh-Triang near Kampung Lebak, when a fuel tanker, carrying 32,000 litres of fuel from Bera to Temerloh, lost control and overturned, crushing the car the family was in.
The crash led to both Saifulnizam's wife, Nur Fatima Syuhada Abdullah, 39, and their son, Muhamad Fattah Aisy, 12, being burned to death. The 37-year-old tanker driver sustained minor injuries. Saifulnizam, who was in Seremban for work, learned of the crash through social media and immediately suspected the victims were his wife and son, as they were supposed to meet him in Seremban that day.
He could not reach his wife by phone and messages sent to her at 5pm went unanswered, prompting him to travel to Temerloh to confirm the incident. Upon reaching the Forensic Unit of Sultan Ahmad Shah Hospital, Saifulnizam saw and hugged the bodies of his wife and son. The tanker driver has been remanded in custody for four days and is under investigation for dangerous driving causing death. The family's identities will be confirmed through DNA testing.
