Family of 3 killed in Immigration lorry crash laid to rest in Kampar [WATCH]

Kampar: The family of three who met their tragic end in a collision with an Immigration Department lorry have been laid to rest. The remains of Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya, 53, and his two daughters, Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni, 12, were interred together at the Kampung Air Hitam Labu Muslim Cemetery. They were honored by nearly 300 relatives, friends, and villagers who came to pay their respects.

The funeral rites were conducted by the mosque imam, Yusaini Ariffin. Prior to the burial, the bodies were identified following post-mortems conducted at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, Kuala Lumpur Hospital. The victims were among four pedestrians struck by the lorry at the Maju Junction traffic-light intersection in Kuala Lumpur.

The lorry reportedly veered off control and crashed into the family and an Inokom Matrix vehicle. The driver, a 43-year-old man, was en route to the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Office to collect detainees post-unlawful migration operations. Police are probing the incident under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
