'I told them school was closed, but they insisted on going' — Mother
PONTIAN: “I told them there was no need to go because school was closed today, but they insisted.
The tragedy unfolded in Pontian when Julaiha Munaji's three children lost their lives in a car accident. The children, Nor Daniel Fikri Norlizan, 11, and Puteri Naufal Raisya, 8, had insisted on heading to school despite their mother informing them that all schools in Johor were closed due to the haze. Their 18-year-old brother, Nor Daniel Aiman, took them to the school to demonstrate its closure.
However, upon returning home, they were involved in a collision with a motorcycle and a lorry near their residence. The accident took place just 200 meters from their house, leaving the family in shock. Despite their cheerful demeanor the night before, the siblings were tragically killed in the incident. Nor Daniel Fikri had even washed the shoes bought for them the previous day.
Aiman, though quiet, was known for his humorous nature, having assisted his mother in caring for his younger siblings after she was involved in an accident four months prior. The children were pronounced dead at Pontian Hospital.
