KUALA LUMPUR: The families of three victims killed in a crash involving an Immigration Department lorry demand no leniency or bias from the authorities following the driver's recent arrest. Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaik Yahya, 53, and his two daughters, Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni, 12, were struck and killed when the lorry collided with them at a red light intersection in Jalan Sultan Ismail.
Firdaus' brother, Azlan Rozali, 48, expressed the family's desire for swift resolution and a fitting punishment for the driver, Mohd Akbar Zainol, 43, who has pleaded not guilty to five charges, including three counts of causing death by reckless driving. The family, particularly Norhayati Rozali, 55, the sole survivor, is seeking justice without any favoritism or leniency.
The driver's legal team represented him at the initial hearing, and Azlan noted that the family is still grappling with the tragedy. Norhayati, currently hospitalized, is receiving medical treatment for her injuries, and her eldest daughter, Siti Nor Shakira, 28, is expected to join her in Kuala Lumpur.
