Malaysian man critically injured in Yogyakarta crash, family seeks RM50,000

A 30-year-old Malaysian man, Ahmad Tarmizi Hazmee, is in critical condition in Indonesia after a severe car accident on the Cipali Toll Road. Tarmizi, along with his youngest brother Muhammad Atiqullah, 20, were returning home from a visit to Yogyakarta when the collision occurred. Atiqullah tragically died at the scene, while Tarmizi suffered multiple injuries including a fractured jaw, shattered cheekbone, broken right arm, fractured ribs, brain swelling and bleeding.

Three other passengers sustained minor injuries. Atiqullah's remains were buried at Dunguswiru Public Cemetery in Subang Kota on August 30 with assistance from the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta and local police. Tarmizi's eldest brother, Ahmad Bukhari, 32, revealed that his sibling is currently semi-conscious at Mitra Plumbon Subang Hospital in West Java and requires around RM50,000 for medical and surgical costs.

Tarmizi underwent his first surgery on August 31 but remains unstable, requiring ongoing sedation and a ventilator. Hospital treatment costs have already reached RM30,000, and with public donations raising about RM30,000, the total amount needed is anticipated to increase depending on potential transfers and future medical evacuation flights back to Malaysia.
