Widow of policeman killed in Sabah electrocution tragedy plans badal haji using donations

The widow of Lance Corporal Mohamad Nur Hafiz Ibrahim, who was killed in an electrocution incident in Sabah, plans to use part of the donations received to perform badal haji (proxy pilgrimage) for her late husband. Fatimah Syaerah Zahrul Saharudin, 28, said the gesture was her way of continuing to dedicate the rewards of the pilgrimage to her late husband while honouring his sacrifice as a policeman.

She also wanted their two-year-old son, Hariz Idraqi, to grow up knowing about his father's sacrifice and dedication to his duty.
