Another family member, believed to have been sleeping at the car park, escapes unhurt.
Three members of a Malaysian family perished in a devastating house fire at a double-storey terrace house in Taman Desa Tambun, near Ipoh. The victims were an elderly couple, Raja Ahmad Raja Ali, 70, and his wife Zaitun Mohamed, 64, along with their 18-year-old grandson, Nik Abdurrahman Azimin Harith Helal. Perak fire and rescue department director Sayani Saidon reported that the blaze had rapidly engulfed 70% of the structure by the time firefighters arrived at the scene around 4am this morning.
Upon arrival, emergency responders found Raja Ahmad's lifeless body in the bathroom on the ground floor, with Zaitun and her grandson resting on the upper level. The 47-year-old Raja Ikhwan Hadi Raja Ahmad, who was believed to have taken shelter in a parking area, managed to escape unharmed.
