Kota Tinggi crash ends medical assistant's plans to care for mum
KOTA TINGGI: Plans by a medical assistant to transfer to Terengganu to care for his ailing mother came to a tragic end when he was killed in a three-vehicle crash here yesterday.
On a fateful day in Kota Tinggi, a medical assistant's dream of caring for his ailing mother was cut short by a devastating three-vehicle crash. Muhamad Amin Mukhtar, 35, had been working at Sultan Ismail Hospital in Johor Baru for seven years when he decided to transfer to Terengganu to be closer to his frail 70-year-old mother, Normah Rani.
Amin's plans to care for his mother came to an abrupt end when he was killed in the accident. His sister, Rohana Mukhtar, 54, expressed her sorrow, recounting how Amin had been unusually quiet and apologetic before the tragic incident. The crash occurred at 5:25pm along Jalan Johor Bahru-Mersing, when a Toyota Vios collided with Amin's Honda City.
Among those killed in the accident were Amin and Muhamad Shuhairil Soraiya, 21, who was driving the Toyota Vios with Nur Fatin Nabilah Yusrishahrun, 20, as a passenger. Shuhairil's uncle, Mohd Serad Nawawi, 52, said he last saw his nephew during the Muslim holiday of Hari Raya on May 27. Meanwhile, Shuhairil's second sister and fifth brother are also serving in the military.
Amin's remains will be taken to his hometown of Setiu, Terengganu, while Nur Fatin will be buried at Felda Tenggaroh 1 in Melaka and Shuhairil in Tanjung Rambutan, Ipoh.
