Woman's final kiss for son, granddaughters who died in Immigration lorry accident
KUALA LUMPUR: A mother’s final kiss accompanied the late Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya, 53, on his final journey after he died in an accident on Jalan Sultan Ismail here early this morning.
KUALA LUMPUR - The mother of Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya, 53, tendered a final kiss to her son and two granddaughters before he died in a tragic accident. The victims, Shaik's wife and daughters Siti Nor Sazlin Mohd Firdaus, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni Mohd Firdaus, 12, were struck by an Immigration Department lorry that ran a red light while picking up detainees during an operation in Chow Kit.
The truck allegedly failed to stop in time, causing the driver of a Proton Saga to lose control and collide with the lorry. The impact caused the truck driver to lose control and veer off course, ultimately striking the family who were crossing the road. The truck also collided with another car that had stopped at the intersection.
Shaik's wife, who was injured, is currently receiving medical treatment in the hospital. The family's bodies arrived at Masjid Jami ul Ehsan in Setapak, where Shaik's 80-year-old grandmother performed the final farewell kiss and gave them a loving goodbye. The bodies were subsequently washed, shrouded, and taken to Kampung Air Hitam Labu Muslim cemetery in Kampar, Perak for the solat jenazah.
The funeral arrangements were provided free of charge by charity organization Pertubuhan Sentuhan Setia Kasih.
