‘I went up to the gate, my wife was already gone’: M'sian woman, 55, dies after headscarf caught in roller
She had served as a gatekeeper for 21 years.
Selaton Nuri, a 55-year-old Malaysian woman and floodgate operator with the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), tragically died after her headscarf became entangled in the roller of a floodgate she was closing near the Grand Sabak Hotel in Sabak Bernam, Selangor. Selaton had been at the floodgate to close it following a high tide when the accident occurred, according to sources.
Her husband, Basar Maslan, 63, a security guard at the Sabak Bernam District Education Office, had not seen his wife since she left for work two days prior. Basar said his wife had been working as a gatekeeper for 21 years and had hoped to perform the haj pilgrimage.
