In a tragic accident near Kuala Lumpur, a family of three lost their lives when a Malaysian Immigration Department lorry crashed. The victims, Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya, 53, and his daughters Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni, 12, were buried together in Kampung Air Hitam Labu Muslim Cemetery. Around 300 villagers and acquaintances attended the burial, paying their respects as a final tribute to the deceased.
The remains of the deceased family members had first undergone a post-mortem examination at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine (IPFN) in Kuala Lumpur Hospital and funeral prayers at the Jamiul Ehsan Mosque in Jalan Pahang. Shaik's wife, Norhayati Razali, 55, is currently receiving intensive care at Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
The accident occurred when the unladen Immigration lorry, en route to Chow Kit to enforce regulations against illegal immigrants, entered an intersection while the traffic light was red, causing it to lose control and collide with a Proton Saga travelling straight through a green light. The incident, believed to have taken place at around 1 am, is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
